'Limp Mode'

Hey guys,
Just wanted to see if this happens to any of you at the track?

I do my burnout, get 'em nice and hot, stage up and launch and then it won't shift into 3rd. It has only happened a couple of times and I can simply turn the engine off, wait 10 seconds and restart the car and all is fine. Just wondering if there is a way around this or if this has happened to any of you? Does anyone know if the Eurocharged TCU tune has any provisions for this removing this feature?

Any input would be helpful!
Regards

Is all the power there when you launch? Either way, be careful. I just broke my 2nd trans tonight at PBIR.

The TCU tune changes the shift points and raises the limiters and allows it to shift much quicker, especially in M mode.
