Default Serpentine Belt coming off

My belt has started to come off after runs at the drag strip. It has 1/4 of the belt lapped over the edge of the pulleys. I just slack the tensioner and slip the belt back on the pullies. It only does this at the strip.

I'm thinking belt tensioner. Is there a belt tensioner out that can reduce this tendency?

Here's my "Larry" pulley:

It has high flanges to prevent the belt from coming forward.

No problems since I installed a Larry pulley.

Thank for the info. I spent the day at the dyno and the belt started to walk on us after a run. I'll order the pully in the AM.

I second that. I had the same issue until I installed the ASP "Larry" pulley. <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />
