I have used them on the track but at full tread depth they are going to wear the shoulder of the tire.

If you are talking about at a drag strip, do NOT drive through the bleach box. But if you can, it doesn't hurt to spin the rears a bit before staging just to put a little heat in them and to clean them. But no smokey burnouts.
