To help you do burnouts.

All will be revealed here... (http://www.techweasel.com/articles/dragrace/dragracing.htm)

It's there to get your tires wet so you can do a burnout without breaking hard parts, like you would if you tried to do a dry one with slicks.

Oh, and BTW, DON'T drive through the water box with treaded street tires... It pisses off the guy behind you when you spray water all over your wheelwells and drip all the way up onto the launch pad.
