That run was on stock tires. It can be done, just takes a lot of practice. Good track prep always helps, too

Make sure you're no rolling through the water with those street tires, that's just asking for wheelspin. The water doesn't do jack for street tires aside from sray it around and sit in your sipes. You get up to the line and then spin on the water. I always drive around the water and a friend who couldn't hook up to save his life FINALLY listened to me and cut 2 tenths off his time, WHO KNEW????

I know about not rolling through the water, but could not help it. The guy at the staging lane watered the entire width of the lane. That may have been a big factor right there. Hell, some of my runs I had major wheel spin, hop and missed a shift. Ran high 10s and low 11s on a few runs.
