I assume you are power braking your burn out? If so your brake torque managment may be kicking in. This happened to me at the line when I was loading up the stall convertor. When I applied brakes and gas at the same time the pcm would cut engine power. It just started doing that and never did it before. I think you can have brake torque management tuned out of a 1999 (unlike a 1997)

A line lock may help you if you don't have one already

Never heard of brake torque management! You can disable torque management. Don't think that's your problem though.
