Default Launch control ... not so god !

Tried launch control at the track today. either I am doing it wrong or my very average clutch start produces less wheel spin. You can hear the engine Rev at 4500rpm at the start of the video. However once I dump the clutch ... back is hopping all over the track. Any of you tried launch control at the track ?

I drive a 2011 coupe LS3.

I first tried it on my 2010 Camaro SS. With the stock tires it didn't work at all but with drag radials I was able launch the car like it was an automatic. Even won a runner up trophy at the first Summit ET points race I went to with the car.
