..Bumpy runway
..First time on those tires
..100F out

All of the above plus the runway getting greasy from the heat caused that problem. You could see her car kick out at least once, that would or should never happen on a real drag strip.

Our experience with running on a runway is that they were nowhere near as smooth as a track, and the car lost traction several times just from the bumps.

Hope she came back from that accidents suck.
