Default Incar videos from the track tonight - Wheelie + car cut off

Took my car to the track tonight. Cam only LS1, forged bottom end and a big shot. No nitrous on the car though only motor runs.
Raceweight was 3370

Best run of the night was a
1.64
7.33
11.44 @ 120.6 mph

Here's the run

This next video is funny. I changed the two step and launched the car higher with less tire pressure. Front end came off the ground and all my lights cut off and the car went dead, then popped back up. Still ran a 11.98 @ 119 with a 1.98 60' lol.
Any idea why my car cut off? Just bogging too hard? I have no idea what I was doing, I didn't even have my hands on the steering wheel for the launch. I was way too comfortable and then it just decided to stand up. I noticed my lights went dead on the interior as well. Does this signify that maybe the battery grounded out or something?

MSD 2 Step. It's wired to the clutch switch so it deactivates when the clutch is released.

Check the battery to make sure it's solid - on mine the + post was hitting the A/C accumulator and the same thing was happening.

^ agree that's exactly what was happening to me when I launched, so I removed the ac and made a good battery mount

Did you use the post by the fuse box for power to the nitrous system? Check to make sure that nut is tight.

Mine did the same thing only a little longer bog but recovered like yours and ended up being a plate shifting/shorting out inside the battery...installed a new Optima, problem solved!! Oh, nice starting line courtesy on your part, I saw the first run the other lane double-bulbed you!!
