BEAT day at the track

I felt like a dingbat rookie yesterday. Not that I'm an expert, but I NEVER had a problem doing a burnout at the track. I went to Chevy Shootout at ATCO Raceway in NJ yesterday and ran my car for the first time. They had nothing but Pro Street and Dragsters running, and I was jumping in for test & tune in between. Because they were doing huge burnouts, they kept hosing the track more than a street day and I was driving through a river to get to the line. I could NOT get a burnout going with traction control OFF to save my life. I smelled burning clutch too I thought. It was embarrassing, the dude just told me to forget and go. More embarrassing was I had so much water on my tires and no stick, that I slid first (at the point you are getting stick), and then when I banged second I slid again sideways AGAIN.. WTF!! What a bad first day. I don't even want to post my numbers. I was so mad. I'm not going to the track until it's 100 degrees out next summer. OH! And Atco doesn't let you drive around the water. Another WTF for us stock tire car drivers. I'm really irritated at the track. I almost don't want to go back to ATCO..
