lmao exactly the same problem i had, trapping about the same MPH as me as well. With a slow rollout on the launch ( i say hippopotamus as I roll to the floor, by the time the word is done foot should be on the floor) from 2000rpm, about 13.7-13.9 @ 101-102.

dunno if you guys ever saw the video but you can watch me roll out and then listen for the tires to start spinning soon as I got to 100% throttle even from a roll.

Yea I wanted to see what it would really run guess I have to get some radials or just practice launching, it hooks better on the streets then at the track

Traction is tough on street tires. I took mine this fall and had to launch super soft. Granted I was running some bald pzeros. I ended up trapping 106.
