Glad you made it hear Slim.  There are quite a few guys that are into drag racing 500's here.  Give us a little more info. as to where you're running and what the track is so hopefully some guys can help you out.

Hey guys  ive raced at Slades park in surry county and Newtown dragway. Hopefully will get a chance to visit  other tracks this year. Im still learning to ride my beast it runs pretty good when i can keep the front end out the sky. Most of the time i ride the tank but it kills my 60 ft.  [Needs are side clutch cover, plastic side cover,and ideas on how to launch this5.5 in.extended 10 paddle beast.]

Welcome Slim,
  Hopefully some more drag guys will chime in as far as set-up and launch sequence.  As a play rider the only things I can think of to help soften the launch would attempt to get the power valve to kick in later and/or swap some gearing.
   I'm sure you've probably already tried a third gear start. 
 For the most part the guys here who do race have been alot more open sharing their information than I have seen in some other forums.
