Congrats on your 11!!!
I've updated your spot on the list.
For what it's worth, I've found I get a better 60' when I don't use the two-step and modulate the clutch release to match what the tire/track will hold.

Nice pass!
That's a good ET for 119 mph for sure.
You didn't ask for my opinion so please take this as intended, thoughts that I wish someone would have told me when I was starting out in this!
Have you tried walking out the clutch instead of dumping it? I've personally found better results that way, I don't tend to spin off the line. IMHO you're losing a lot of 60 foot spinning. If I spin it's 1.8 for me...no spin, 1.5.
Do you have any issues running those bias ply on back and radials on front? My rear end got LOOSE at about 120 or so and it was scary. The car would sway back and forth. I never lost it but was always afraid if I had to do something quick...like avoid a fox running across the track (which happened to me) or avoid my opponent (also happened) I'd lose it.
Oh...and I got .1 to .2 by running skinnies up front and taking out the passenger seat.
