What is the point of LC if your mpss look like peanut covered candy apples prior to engaging it. Do I need to clean off the tires with a rag prior to using LC, or am I missing something? Cleaning off the tires should be a priority to autocross or drag racing, so why am I having this issue?

Having trouble engaging it? I stabbed throttle in the water box and let it drive up out until the tires hooked. The trick is sometimes if your foot isnt completely off the brake when you go to do your burnout launch control can activate and then you do your burnout which counts as a "launch" and then launch control wont engage for a few minutes and definitely not on that run. Happened to me twice that day. Hope that answers your question.

Makes me want to go back to the strip. I see my local drag strip is having an open night next Friday.  |
I had 93 octane BP in it its the only fuel I've put in it since coming back from PCD where I used Shell a few times.

Absolutely bone stock only mods are BMC filters and unplugged valves. Like I said above just BP 93 octane for the life of the car. The trick for my time was that launch control worked perfectly, track must have been very well prepped. The 60 foot was insane and even was better than my old 3rd gen camaro race car on slicks.
