Slowly start loosening the shocks and giving it a little more front end travel. I'm betting the track wasn't all that great last weekend in the 90+ degree heat.

I made my first pass this last weekend that was pretty good (1.30-60'). The next 2 it spun some and lost about .06 in 60'. I loosened the limiters all the way and loosened the shocks 2 clicks. It picked up .03 the next pass to 1.33 and the next one wheelied pretty good and picked up to 1.29. My car is probably like yours, it has to have the front end in the air for best 60'. It's just a balancing act not to let it get too high.
