no traction
I went to track today and I had no traction, track prep was horrible,
c6 a6 ls3 my best et 11.75 ,121mph , not happy
no glue on the track, it should be more like 11.40, 123 mph
I had M/T street radials on I was spinning in 1,2,3 gears
420 rwhp should run at least 11.50 with DR

15psi is incredibly low for an ET Street Radial.
Try starting at 20psi next time with enough of a burnout to just start seeing smoke (you don't need a smoke show) and adjust up/down in 2psi increments and you'll find your happy place.
You want to run as much pressure as you can while still hooking and you'll see your MPH go up.

second pass 22 psi
third pass 15 psi
I think it was just bad track prep,a guy with a SHELBY told me his car
made 700 rwhp he was spinning all the way down the track,another
one with a 2008 c6z made one pass and he left ,first day of season
and no glue on the track , it was a waste of money and time.
