New to drag racing. Need advice.

You pushed through your brakes when the converter started to load. Problem #1......

Thanks for the input. Driver error?

There is a line lock on the car.....I've never tried it. Something to try to eliminate "push through"???

Sorry.....total greenhorn on this end.

I'm here is Wisconsin where there is salt/snow and ice......obviously tracks are closed for testing anything. I'm excited for spring, and want to be in a better position when it arrives. I'm looking to do some winter projects to get faster......just don't know where to start.
