Looks like the driver in that video shouldn’t attempt it either.
Smoking the tires accomplishes little other than getting you closer to replacing them.

Gotta heat up the tires for traction!

At least he made it otherwise - epic fail!

I'm aware of a principle that applies in other kinds of racing, and plausibly could apply here, that smoking the tires, in this manner, gets the tread surface slightly melted, and makes it stickier, leading to better traction.

Watching this video, it does certainly look to me like that is exactly what is happening. We see the cold tires just slipping, not getting nearly enough traction, and getting a grip only after they start smoking.

But you are certainly right on one point—this does get you closer to needing to replace the tires.
