ok...I have grown up at drag strips, and have been racing for years now. I have been to multiple tracks, in multiple states. The way it works is a water box > burnout > stage > go. The stuff they spray on the ground COMES OUT OF A HOSE. And no, some cars with 800 hp might not need the water, but even top fuel with thousands of horsepower uses water in the water box.
Tires are not cheap. You do not want them trying to grip when you first start doing a burn out or you will wear them out faster. And also, if that car with 800 hp doesn't spin off the line after a burnout, chances are the tires are large and sticky enough for it to almost grip off the line without a burnout.
