    wheel hop at the track.

    Well as most of you know I run the factory 17s at the track, well about half of my runs I get pretty bad wheel hop, now on the street it just roast them but the track it tends to wheel hop. Any sugestions on fixing this besides getting slicks and a retune?

    Clamp the springs. If that doesn't fix it, cal-tracs.

    Are you dropping the air pressure on the tires at the track?

    Dang I keep forgetting about that. Is it safe to run like that everyday or just at the track?

    I hope it's safe. My truck's been running around for almost 4 years with them clamped.

    Yeah that shouldnt be a problem. It will also give you just a little bit of drop also.
    I have been thinking about doing mine, just have been putting it off.
