This, I believe, is to do with the fact that maximum torque transfer to the road is attained at the point just before the loss of traction. By lifting off and then blipping the throttle repeatedly, you are applying moments of traction. Effectively, it's the reverse of cadence braking.
You may well be right about clearing the treads too, of course.
carbore:
Im in the Myth camp on this one and I think V8Moneypits explanations are spot on. That said There is usually a source of the myth and something that perpetuates it.
Id suggest that when people TRY this and 'it works" its simply becuase they have put the brake on and dropped the speed of wheel rotation to the point at which grip can be achieved, nothing to do with more throttle as they would be better off simply lifting off.
MuddyDiscoveryJay:
Has anybody got or seen the "rugged guide" dvd? there is a full explanation in there and the demonstrator uses wheel rollers in what would be a crossed axle situation. Science? no idea, theory? looked like it worked on the dvd. No excessive accelerator or braking was used. just gentle persuasion.
