Belt Problem after Wheel Hop
i have had this problem twice now at the track over the last 6 months or so. a couple of times off the line i have wheel hop'd the car pretty bad and the belt has actuall worked its way off of the pulley a couple of ribs.
is this something common that people run into? I am trying to figure out if it is from the wheel hop of if i have a bad tensioner....or maybe a combination of the two.
let me know what you think.

I doubt it's wheel hop. Sounds like the crappy stock tensioner pulley letting the belt come off. I had the same problem.
I fixed it, and since this mod have had zero issues with the belt coming off during drag racing.
