Surely it has nothing to do with reading the track and knowing I have to come out easy so the tires don't bite and try to wrinkle and then bounce forward. It was definitely all the tracks fault. Its easier to blame the track.

Oh oh wait let me guess....hanging weights would have prevented the holes in the track an made everything all better. There were about 20 trucks....3 of them broke, and 2 of those were broke in less than 5' because they dumped the clutch on a hard biting track. If it was too loose people would *****, now we hook on a track that is actually tight, and they ***** because they can't get off the line.

I'm still learning things but I at least learned that when the track is tight you gotta launch easy. Its not rocket science...

You are correct. Up here its all pure clay too and we cant do the 4000+ rpm clutch drops like they do on the softer tracks. I usually have to come out at 2500 riding the clutch like and old lady and drop the hammer when its movin. A well set up automatic would really have the advantage on the harder tracks. That track was without a doubt a power track and it wasnt even that rough lookin to me.

The girl driving the maroon common rail that put 7' on me can attest to that.

A combo of good tires, good hitch placement, and in 94 12 valve's case short traction bars all add up to a combo for hooking HARD. When it hooks so hard in the rear like that its gonna try to lift the front end, which is amplified in the shorter wheel base trucks. Now put that on a real sticky and tight track and its a new ball game from the tracks we hook on here in the Northeast usually. This track was the first one I've been on that actually hooked so hard I got a slight bit of arch in the frame coming down the track without weights up front.

The tires are biting so hard that they flex and then unload and its like a spring. Play the video in HD, put it on full screen and watch the rear tires very closely on the blue CR dually, and the green reg cab. The bounce all starts in the tires. Both of those trucks, as well as the grey CR short bed, maroon CR short bed, and silver CR shortbed all run BFG AT's. The ones with hopping issues are all running the same tire, it could be coincidence, or maybe not.

This is my uneducated opinion, so take it with a grain of salt.
 
I've had trouble this year at that track too. Not sayin its the truck cuz I had trouble at a shofter track too. Not near as bad. Brought it out slow brought it out hard and the same happened. Was changing things the hole time too so hard to say
That a side I wasn't there for this pull so don't no how it looked however alot of nights when it is first starting you can see that the track isn't even down through. The last powerfest they were picking metal out of the track an hour before it started. They had demo derby the week before.

The first powerfest I think half of the mod class broke something.
and the others got out of it to keep from breaking something

Are you talking about Brians truck? the grey short bed CR?
If so he runs 70 psi there shouldn't be any give to that tire I wouldn't think??
Just asking?
 
I assume that you have the silver CR in the stock class that literally jumped the whole truck off the track two weeks ago? I would have to go look at the video again to see what was going on on your run, but I can not see what it was like in the cab.

As for the other hooks this year at the buck, in my sig is a link, you can find them all there. For the Modified class that is.
 
well its a white CR that jumped all fourwheels off the ground lol
and yes in stock class
This last time I brought it out too hard that was most of the problem but I was being told that is why I was hoping cuz I didn't bring it out hard enough so I did. OH well I have a thread about it so don't want to drag it out on here
Just stating that I think the track is always uneven when they start You can see the waves in it
