Ahahahah!!! Not good to watch such videos at work! Laughs are too loud! 
The guy needs to ease up on the hamburgers! Made the right side of the car too heavy.
You could tell things were going badly when he straight up crashed into the wall on a burn-in run.
I think he's also missing the concept of a green light. Generally you go as soon as it turns green, not a couple seconds later. It is interesting how good of times he had despite the non-launch.
What's up with the lady pushing a stroller across the strip at 1:20???

it would depend on the type of drag strip i guess. some don't add your reaction time to your ET, some do. if they don't, then you can sit on the line and spool up your truck turbo prior to your run and still pull a decent time.

R/T only counts against you during a bracket race. Test runs, not at all.
