I bet some simple changes will allow you to hook better. I was getting high 1.6x to low 1.7x 60' times on street tires and running high 12.60s to low 12.70s @ 106-107 MPH with all poly bushed stock suspension and Koni shocks.
For a burnout I smoked them as hard as I could. More heat helped. Dunno if it would be the same with DRs.

Yeah I saw. Few cars there with lower MPH than me with quicker times
Well from what I was told from a friend who watched my burnout said I didn't do it long enough .and perhaps I wasn't in the groove of the track quite right either ...so next time more burnout time......and maybe a better eye....
