amazing what a few simple mods will do to fix this problem... that's why I put my Ingalls dampner on before I ever ran the car at a strip.

the sad part about our cars is that we'll never be able to get rid of wheel hop. a damper wont completely get rid of wheel hop but better axles and other mounts will bring you close to it.

<<<anything other than clean, warm, concrete=wheel hop=ownage

No one really knew the condition of this guys car before the race. He may have abused his car prior, or then again could have been a deffective part. Who knows?
It didn't sound to good when it broke though. (Oh my God!)
I hope he came thru with a quick fix!

Any FWD car with torque is gonna have wheel hop. I've heard stories of SRT-4 guys bringing spare axels to the track just incase.
