Wheel hop is what destroys axles get that under control and your good. Also slicks have more sidewall flex which takes strain off the axles.

I may try and find a drivers side motor mount and see if that helps

Yeah, they go in the middle of the rear springs. You pump them up to 25psi or so which prevents the car from squatting on the launch, giving the front wheels more traction.

Yea, I'd be down, I went last year... I wasn't sure if I was going to go this time, but it looks like there will be a good turnout.
