o well. first time to the track ever. i ran a 13.8 at 113 .on the third run i broke the rear or tranny because of severe wheel hoop. that sucked, had to have it towed 115miles home i just couldnt get any traction. i have nitto 305 555r's on the back and spun like a ****.and yes i did a burnout before each run.i even dropped the tire pressure to 20ibs in the back

I was there, wheel hop is a bitch. You need good adjustable shocks. You should not have tried to keep into it when you had the wheel hop, could have saved your rear end. Hope you get it fixed and race again.

Did you find out what blew? BadpewterZ got it on tape. You could see parts of metal along the track. The people in the tower really bitched about it over the loud speaker.
