Re: so...went to richmond dragway today
err..
10psi in Drag radials
SOLID left & right Tq. mounts
SOLID Tranny mount
SOLID driver mount
SOLID rear mount
Nice Suspention
Ive ridden in this car, Wheel hop doesnt happen.
1inch crack's in track
Bad track prep
Wheels hitting cracks = Sudden slip in traction
No load on setup while spinnging, then a sudden HOOK results in??
Yup, A shock that will cause major drivetrain/Axle failure.

Re: so...went to richmond dragway today
before i had the traction bars and just had solid front and rear motor mounts and tranny mount I still would get some wheel hop, tractions bars were the greatest, other then they sit an inch off the ground and were bolted to the frame so I would get stuck on a pebble lol

FWD & DRAG RADIALS can cause wheel hop. You may not feel in it but it is there.
And bad track prep? Come on man, many 4 sec 1/8th mile and low 9 second 1/4 mile cars were there Sunday. One FWD car having a issue makes it bad track prep??? Get a life bro.... People like you dont have a clue about racing...
I guess your 13 or 14 second Honda is really that bad so you think its poor track prep and bad track cracks... LOL...
I will tell you what... Bring Something there this friday and watch a few of us leave on the back bumper on STREET NIGHT!
