It's called front wheel drive...
Whatever David, I just said I would suck at it for a couple reasons - this isn't about drivers, I'm just saying FWD sucks for launching (unless you go extreme and get drag radials and shit like the inline pro cars have to use.)
PLEASE don't flame me for this, it's basic physics (ie. a fact.) When you step on the gas, weight moves to the rear of the car (and OFF the front.)
There were a number of cars that ran extremily fast times that night, blame it on anything you want. I'm sure MIR has no idea what they are doing, they only do it every Friday night and all.
They post the times for qualifying on the MIR website, of the 24 cars they posted (granted they were competetion cars) only 2 of them went over 12 seconds.
Your tires were probably too cold, combined w/ regular fwd issues (I don't remember you burning out.)
