Default Wheel hop?

I took the Z to the track and had nothing but problems getting traction and lots of wheel hop. I was planning on getting some drag radials for the car to hopefully remedy this, unless any one has an alternate solution! Any insight is greatly appreciated.


Thanks,
Jeremy

You can even get wheel hop with the VDC off. Sometimes, the track conditions are just so poor that even having your car prepped properly you would still have some wheel hop. However, most of the time it is driver error. Don't let up off the clutch so fast and smash on the gas; that tends to lead just making your back tires spin too hard. However, make sure you do turn your VDC off and that'll make your runs better.
