you gotta get that 60' down. what psi was the rear tires? and even front tires for that matter? if you can get a good set of sticky rears that will help greatly.

How were you launching? off idle, stalling up a little? depending on the stall some like to be flashed at the line.

practice your reaction time and the more time in the seat the better you will become! Looks good! have fun!

What gear do you have? How hard are u turning it? How much did u put down? Those traps seem way off for a hc car. Even at 4200 lbs

Yeah I was thinking the same thing those trap speeds are really low for a h/c car. And your 60' would benefit greatly from some drs get yourself a pair of Mickey Thompson or nittos
