Me at the strip video

I'd also say the traction issue was driver error. As everyone's said rev the bitch up high dump the clutch and stand on the brake. Not sure how strong your car is but in my fox body I usually do that but in 2nd gear since first is way too short.

Also, 14 psi sounds damn low. First time I went to the track I aired mine down to like 18/19 psi and it was bogging off the line some and I talked to some guys and everyone said start at 30 and work your way down. Aired them up my next time out and instantly killed time on my ET's. I actually run 30 psi now. Every now and then I will spin a tad bit off the line and sometimes my 1-2 shift will spin the tires a tiny bit but not too often so thats where I'm keeping it. Pumped the hell out of my fronts too when I'm there.
I'd think more air + good burnout and that thing oughta hook.

I know, im going to buy a line lock , they said i have to have a drive shaft loop and also wheel studs. I never backed into the water just up close to it and just cleaned the tires off. Im thinking it will run 8 .20s once i get it to hook and leave at about 4500 or better.

Yea they said i had to have the screw in studs cause of the tires, they said they had to stick thru the lugs. And the drive shaft loop cause of the tires also. i DIDNT THINK I HAD TO HAVE A LOOP UNLESS I HAD SLICKS.

Heres my tracks rules. I see nothing about wheel studs, and they seem to be pretty relaxed on the loop rule as I've seen numerous cars with slicks on for the strip without a loop. However I'll be running a loop once my blowers on as I don't want the shaft flying all over damaging **** if it breaks.
