Default last weekends carnge

i took my procharged ls powered c10 to the track last weekend for the first time. i entered an et street bracket race. when my class is called to the staging lanes i get to see my competetion. im thinking that ive got a pretty good chance of stomping a mudhole them.
then i pull up and do my burnout...........................


as soon as the 325/50/15 mt drag radials got hot the truck shot left, i thought maybe that was just the nature of the truck. then after im staged and get the green light it only got worse. i ended up slipping and slidding on a broke axle to a 2.0 60ft before shutting it down. bad day. ive got 35 spline axles, and a built third member with a detroit locker coming to make sure this does`nt happen anymore
