Tire Slip Before Planting

I watched a video of my car leaving and the tire just starts to rotate before it plants the tire, on a not well preped track, dead hooks most of the time.
Dont see much difference in 60ft just RT but how you fix that?

4-link 17x32 tires, glide leaving 4400 converter flash to 5700

Re: Trans brake button??
