Default Racing the Cobra

Thanks for the like on the picture The car goes straight, unless I spin out. I don't recall what I launched at because I'm relatively new at this and was very nervous during the launch, but I think it was about 4500 rpm. The tires spun for a split second, I let off the gas just a touch, and the tires grabbed - causing this little wheelie. I've been unable to duplicate it since. I now make all my launches at 3K rpm(soft starts), have 60 foot times between 1.5 and 1.6 seconds, with ET's running 11.4 - 11.5 at 119 to 120 mph. My best time was 11.3 at 121 mph with a short time of 1.5 with a 5 speed T5 tranny. I installed the line lock to try to improve my tire warm up, and have only used it once. Once I get the tires warmed up, I will move my launch RPM up to 3500 or 4000, or mayby higher if it doesn't spin out. I did video the front tires(with the line lock activated) once with the GoPro and one of the tires did not lock solid, then when I videod it again, the other tire did not lock, so I will be working on that problem. The race track officials said if I ever go below 11 secs, I will have to install a 5-point roll cage, which I can never do, as I want to keep the car "street" looking, and not dedicate it to the race track. It is my daily driver during good weather. Right now, they are OK with helmet, neck brace, 5-point restraint, arm restraints, and flame retardent jacket. But, if I break 11 seconds, my racing will be over due to the 5-point roll cage requirement.
