Looks like fun! Really though, no use burning out with the ones you did. They were so small and likely did nothing for your in terms of overall grip.

Did you have VSC completely off before the run? Also, did you try power-braking when you launched? Or was it "Foot on brake > Green Light > Step on Gas"?

I think your problem there was that your car doesn't have a big enough wing on the back.

I wasn't doing a burn-out per say, i was just cleaning off debris from tires. I also couldn't avoid the waterbox, so I just wanted to rinse the tires off!

As far as launching is concerned, i had only initial VSC off. Not totally off! And i power braked at 1500rpm.
