Notice the nose of the Vega UPON LAUNCH, like the nose immediately starts to climb but one can see the tips of both the left & right fender fighting(kind of an up & down battle between torque & spring pressure) as the wheelie bars springs load up with increasing pressure to keep the nose down. It appears that there is a loss of traction about one second into the run as the Vega pulls towards the left onto the double yellow line. The throttle linkage going to the supercharger hat(most noticeable on the left side of the hat) is being 'winged'(closed/open-closed/open twice) by the driver in an attempt to get the slicks to regain traction as the Vega closes in towards the double yellow line. The driver did NOT lose control of the Vega like EXCELLENT driver! The Vega launches @ 2:03 & enters the traps @ 2:10 by my count for ABOUT a seven second run(major adrenaline rush!!!!) despite losing traction for a split second. It looks like a crew member is getting bawled out near the end of the vid. I'd say the crew did not get the slicks positioned directly over the rubber on the track from the previous burnout which can seriously effect traction as seen in the video.
