Just assuming it was late in the evening on the 21st, 10-11 PM, based on the altitude of the track at 672 feet, humidity levels in the 60s, temperature about 63, barometric pressure at 29.85 (ish) this leads to about a 1333 density altitude. Not bad.

Also like said, a rear/side view of the tire is optimal. IF you can get some white tape and mark the tire and you will definitly know if it is spinning or actually sticking as the Tape would spin faster and then slow back down and thatn would indicate where your spinning be it from the line to the 60' foot, or if you hook and then unload.

What converter are you running and what gear? Don't touch the suspension just yet. Do like the others said see if you are spinning and get a side video. If you are not spinning then you need to up the boost or check your converter to get that hit you need to pop the car off the line and bring your 60ft down. Try just the boost change after you make sure you are not spinning.

first off your preloading that rear suspension way too much so the split second after you let off the trans brake before the power reaches the back the suspension is unloading slightly then loading again and secondly i cant really tell from the video but im not seeing any tire spin and you want a little tire spin. hope this helps. -tony-
