Default No Spin No smoke

Hey guys, Just looking for some comments... Yesterday I was in a Wal-mart parking lot and the ground was sticky damp cement. Had a buddy in the passenger seat & decided to smoke my tires (Braking). Surprisingly, the wheels would not move and I could not establish greater than 2000 rpms. At first I thought perhaps the wheels were just spinning w/o smoking due to the damp ground until I peek my head out. The ground was not damp enough to prevent burned rubber. The car ran great trying a moving burnout -- this issue only occurred at static start & I haven't tried it again since. I recently put in a transgo sk, protorque converter & tuned (removing torque management system) -- it has been a blast. I appreciate any comments. Thx. :nopity
