Launching advise?

Howdy, Justin. The track looses some grip when it gets cold. That and the street tires on Friday (I assume from your description it was Friday) eat up the starting line. And the street cars track water EVERYWHERE. If you're running slicks, you'll need to burn them good in the later rounds on Friday - they do not respray the track like Saturday. Also a good idea - roll into the water, turn the tires a few times slow, then roll 5-10 feet out of the water box and burn the tires when they signal it's OK.

I set my Cals with a 1/2 turn each side, check for even tension, then add 1/2 more on the right.
