Sounds like you're absolutely killing the clutch by riding it for way too long. Then, it even seemed as if you bogged after finally releasing. You have to do a very quick slip to the point that it almost breaks loose the tires.

THis is how you slip from 6k:

Warrtalon's 12.000

 

nice launch. lol, you cant win for loosing on getting the elusive 11 sec run. nice tho, 12.000. it doesnt get any closer than that.

 

Yeah, really. That was the Drag Racing Gods getting back at me...

 

looks like a nice track

 

Did you pull around the water box or through it? If you pull through it, go just until your back tires are past and then do a quick (not a full dump but faster than you are doing now) to clean off the tires and heat them up a bit. Then do the same thing at the line. Make sure your tire pressure is down around 23-24psi (once you get it down and start breaking loose). You should be in the low 1.7's or high 1.6's.

 

I do what Trevor said, too. I go through the water, then do a quick burnout to clean off the tires, but I also do it to get an idea of how much traction I'm getting. I've had times where I tried to burn out and my tires hooked. That's when I knew I could get away with as hard a launch as I wanted. Other times, I've lit all 4 tires up like I was on a hockey rink. In those cases, I knew I'd be lucky to pull a 1.6 and would only be able to do it with a perfect launch that had no slip, no bog, and no spin.
