    What is a dry hop, and how do you do it?
    After you do your burnout in the burn out box, pull up on the dry area in front of the burnout box. Keep one foot on the gas and the other on the brake to keep control of the car and spin the tires a few more times.

    What brand/size tires are you running on the front?

      What is the backspacing on the rear wheels??? I "think" they might be rubbing on the inside of the fender well. If that's the case, you can take rubber mallet to it. I'd make sure you find the problem, before you go to the track.

        Handling/stability issues are usually the result of mixing bias and radials. Just don't drive hectic on the way to the track. Take it easy on turns and curves. On the track they should be ok. Make sure all of your lugs are tight. ;) Do you have LCA's?

        Time to invest in some skinnies. They would knock another tenth off too.

          When I find some I'll nab em...I got lca's now as well yes...non adjustable though...they are the 3 piece poly ball ones from hotpart...They're not rubbing the inside of the fender...Im positive it is that back plastic piece, but only under breaking...

          My front tires are 245 50 R16 Hankook ventus HR II tires...they're a street radial...I will only be using the ET streets at the track, the only reason I had them on the street was for a dry test run...

          I'm leaving for the track in about 20 mins, so wish me luck and look for a "It broke 13's" type post soon :banana:

          Thanks guys/gals...
