Default Just a note....

At the last CorvetteChallenge I saw alot of cars doing one wheel burnouts. Make sure you have the waterman put water down for you before you break something at the next event.

The only person I saw actually backup and try the burnout again was Bill. And the guy still didnt put anymore water down. It looked painfull for that car doing big burnouts with no water.

I also saw Sheila and many others doing one wheelers.

So be ready and yell at that damn waterguy.

Your ABSOLUTELY right... also you racers should try a little burn out before you get to the track...the problem is some of those my have a problem with the posi unit itself.

I knew mine was going bad last year because it was doing it even when there WAS enough water.. If you notice its always the "RIGHT" tire doing the spinning...
