problem with 2nd gear burnout

[08gt4u]

last night at the track i went to do a burnout and as soon as i shifted to 2nd gear the car started to loose power.you could see the rpms dropping untill about 2k and at that point i just let off and move forward.this has never been a problem before.
does anyone know what can be the cause of this?
i had to finish the night doing 1st gear burnouts.
by the way the car is an auto with 4.10s and a 3200 stall

Probably not enough water on the tires. I like to also start my burn outs a foot away from the water after I pass through. If you pull to far out its a hell of alot sticker. I had this happen to me two weeks ago in our race car, we kept pushing through the line lock. I started my burn out just at the edge of the burnout box and it solved my problem. If that doesn't work you need more power to do a second gear burn with out hurting the car, or the converter Sometimes the track just doesn't lay enough water down, and unless your making alot of power it will bog you down.
