Default Truck bucking bad at track (launch)!!

Went to track last night for first time with A6 and converter, and when I would launch the truck it would buck up and down violently as if coming in and out of gear! It would do it 3x thru 1st gear then after that would stop!?! It did it worse in 4wd and with stock tires! Any ideas would be appreciated!!

BTW ran a 14.09@99 on 35's
And 13.7@100 on stockers, and had a 13.9@101 in there with a 1.96 60ft (all other 60ft were 2.02)
I am very disappointed due to I know there's more in it due to crapy launches!! I tried launching several different way too! Thanx in advance!

Don't think that was wheel hop cause I could hear when they would spin and most of the time they weren't. It would feel like I got rear ended!

Either traction control is shutting you down or the truck is freaking out

I would guess traction control or something is kicking in and getting confused. Did you pull the ABS fuses??
