5 dollars says if you run at the track again with 40 psi in your front tires you will still get wheel hop or either spin really really bad

well to get a good time u have to find a pressure so the tires wont hop or spin...lol. Its actually pretty simple...lower to 25-27psi...avoid the wet box..there is no need to do a burnout or go through the box...if u cant avoid it then roll through the water and do a quick burnout on the dry part in front of the box to get the water off your tires. Dont stage your rpms to high and dont slam the gas when you take off...roll onto the throttle.

I would suggest getting a ingalls TD and OTTP rotated mounts...they will help alot.

im not getting into the debate between TTR and OTTP. But i had OTTP's stage 2 rotated mounts and a Ingalls TD...no wheel hop at all at the track.

Solid CAB's will work better than rotated mounts for track duty.

2.5 60' times are way, way off. Should be able to manage a 2.2 easily, and dropping .3 at the start will get you over a half second off your times. That alone will put you into the normal range.
