It looks like everyone was running pretty poor 60ft. times so its possible the track prep wasn't very good. Unless your all pretty much newbs (don't worry I'm sure I won't do much better my first time). What RPM are you launching at? Dumping the clutch or slipping it? Are your tires spinning out of the hole or are you bogging down? I'm going to be guessing your bogging down as I doubt your spinning that much out of the hole.

You may need to try launching at a higher rpm and if your dumping the clutch you definately need to try slipping it a little more. Also what clutch are you using? Stocker? It could be slipping on its own as well...
 
I'm launching around 3500rpm. I'm using the stock clutch still. Tires were slipping one time, thie rest was bogging down.
 
Yeah your launching at to low a rpm, but with the stock clutch I would be a little careful as well. If you haven't already read it

I would try launching at around 4500ish since your probably afraid of burning up the clutch. See how it works, if you smell some burnt clutch you slipped it too slowly, or if you slipped it quickly the clutch can't handle it.
Also did you do all the pre-track maintenance? Make sure you have no boost leaks, exhaust leaks, etc... Even with the lower launch th emph seems a little low.
