That's what caused me to write such a descriptive sentence subject for you! lol

Seriously, it's best practice to ask a question in a separate thread on topic.

But the dirty secret is........ there are a whole bunch of folks subscribed to this thread and certainly a lot of them have experienced wheel hop...and every one of them got an email with your question. That's good advertising, probably better than posting a new thread. shhh...

Congrats on being the new LS3 bolt on record holder.

It's all about the 60 foot. You must of had great track prep.

Should go faster if you can catch some good air.

How much does your car weigh?

Thanks! Race weight is 3310. Had over 1/4 tank of gas. Hoping the track is open tomorrow for some negative DA but it did rain today there so the track may be slippery tomorrow since they dont prep it on wednesdays.

Ran my fastest cam only time exactly 1 year ago on the last wednesday night they are open and trying to do the same for bolt on tomorrow.

Good Luck tomorrow night

You may want to try less gas in the tank unless that is helping your 60 foot.

Congrats
I've been waiting a long time for someone to step up to challenge or take the lead.

I'll be at Sac for the New Year's TnT and race. Hope to meet you there and hope we have good air. One of us needs to eclipse the LS2 record and it looks like you could do it.
