listen it's simple:
your car should not be losing traction like this unless you are driving it over the limit of tire adhesion (or if you are Turbocharged or something). if you pop the clutch when you let off it will kill your traction, if your tires are bald it will kill your traction, if your alignment is off it will kill your traction.
TTD:
1 - check your alignment
2 - check your tire tread for improper wear or extreme wear
3 - learn how to launch your car and shift properly

I haven't recorded a time since I was stock of 13.7-something more than a year ago. I am hoping to run my car next weekend and we will see but I need tires first.
also, I don't need to prove my abilities to give rudimentary knowledge on how to drive a car. nothing I said is disputable. these cars should NOT lose traction badly like that with stock power levels unless something is wrong. I think the OP is talking about driving aggressively on the street, not necissarily launching at the drag strip. a simple check over of his setup is nothing to debate.

Just keep practicing and you'll eventually get the feel for your car...

But I know that the 745 does run a low 14, and since from what I remember he was 1/2 car in front I was not far behind. I know if I didnt spin out through 2nd and some of 3rd I would have pulled ahead. Thats what lead me to my question of how to limit that spin or what you guys do.

You need to lift when it starts to spin. Sometimes the track can be slick sometimes its just that you break the traction because you let the clutch out so fast. Regardless you need to lift until the tires catch THEN get back into the throttle more slowly.

If you really want a tire that works, go for the Mickey Thompson ET Street RADIAL. These are a streetable tire, and I've seen guys with 600rwhp make 1.5x 60's with them. Drive to the track on them, lower the tire pressure, run all day, raise the tire pressure, drive home.
