Someone help before I do something stupid!

I would have asked someone but there were 450+ cars out there and I didn't want to keep everyone waiting cuz im the kid holding everyone back. The anouncer said it was a record number and they only allowed one run and then started elliminations. I would have loved more runs. The second time I burned the tires for about two, maybe three seconds but then I started getting sideways and I didn't want to hook and fly towards the crowd 30 feet away or so. On my second run I had a 2.3 60' but still couldn't get traction. I went softer than I go on the street and I was still spinning. I grinded second bad (let go of clutch too soon) so I gave up and threw it in fifth (I didn't want to beat up the car anymore than I had for another crappy time). The car I ran was a 96-98 Cobra (modded, talked to him for a bit). He ran a 14.8 @ 103 with his girlfriend in the car. My brother had a hard time finding traction too. He usually goes off the line good, then spins very little and then gets traction. Here he was spinning for the get go. Maybe its not the track and just one bad experience. I spun third about as much as I usually spin second on the street. There were other cars there though with bad times. a C5 @ 13.9, LS1's in 14.6, LX 5spd @ 15.2 among others. I have pictures too.
