yup, those cracks were causeing me to loose traction at the topend of the track.
When you trap 124+mph in a FWD, last thing you want is to loose traction on your steering tires! Scary... aint that right chris?
VMP is too sexy this year, they have my vote for this season. Even if its in my power house of a 1.5

Really? I went 9.4x's @ 142 on a 10in Tire & Stock style suspension Sunday with no issues?? Bert Jackson's car went a 4.4x's in the 1/8th at over 160mph??
There is nothing wrong with Richmond, and yes I have run FWD cars there many times. I had a FAST FWD car before they were cool... Like 10 years ago...
Take it however you want man, its cool with me. Wheel hop comes from wrong suspension, radial tires, or wrong air pressure.

Re: so...went to richmond dragway today
well i have 5 solid engine mounts and decent suspension so i guess maybe thats why it didnt wheel hop, the first pass it spun to the 1/8, if it was gonna wheel hop dont u think it would have done it then?
