Lost control at the track hit the wall
 
Ok so I i went down the 1/8 mile track i launched at 7.5k on the 2 step making 9lbs of boost very nicely immediately into 2nd gear at 9k into 3rdat around 8.75k or so at this point the car is pullin super hard n starting to boost pretty hard at around 5.5k Rpms the car started boostin so hard that it broke the tires loose n kicked the ass end out and I hit the wall doing 90 mph it's not the first time it's gotten squirrely towards the end of the gears when it's starting to hit full boost what can I do to control this Im runnin m/t 26x10.5x16 drag street radials btw

Any number of things. Although it seems very odd that you're breaking traction in a higher gear leading to a wreck but not mentioning losing it in a lower gear. It sounds like you hit a slick spot.
driver mod
alignment
race stability management
ECU with boost by gear
wing/diffuser
etc.
The long of the short is you either need to be able to control it, or stop it from happening. Anything that effects either of those two will help.

Yea that's y I wanted to know what u guys opinions were bein as how it happened at the end of my gear n not the beging actually happened as I was passing the finish line

I don't know what could cause that for you, when my car spins the tires I never even feel it, I mean the car doesn't move around at all. last time I was at the track the track was so slick I was spinning the tires through every gear all the way to the finish line.

You sure you had the same air pressure in the tires? Maybe the track was just slicker in one spot or for one side of the car. Does it ever get loose spinning the tires going straight on the street?

I mean it gets squirrely like that on me but I'm able to control it but this time the ass end kicked out so fast n hard to the right that no matter how hard I tryed whippin it straight Hittin that left wall was inevitable I was on left lane of the track

Damn that's weird how else can I load the video?

Could possibly be you hit a spot of brake fluid from another racer hitting the brakes at the end? Glad you are ok though.
