I need help. I was running my best ever pass friday night right up until the rear of my car decided it wanted to run in the front. It spun 4 times(full 360's) in the middle of the track and then settled down into sliding sideways. I think I went through the traps either backwards or sideways. I was running head to head with a low 12 second Comet but still managed a 12.59 at 108. I ran 12.50/60's at 107/108 last fall but didn't have these problems. Its hitting harder at the line and running harder on the track now(probably low 12 still). Perhaps I have hit some sort of limit back there but I have no clue exactly what it might be.
What I need to know is at what point did you start having these sort of squirrley handling problems and what did you do to fix it? I'm running new mid eye 5 leafs, Southside lift bars and I just put new 50/50 shocks on the back. The shocks didn't help my problems with it jack rabbiting at the line.
If its too stiff in the ass end would that make it hop at the line and also make it get light up around 108 and loose it like this? Before I run again I will have to do something because that was a level of fun that I don't want again, LOL. As a post script, somebody else lost it last week end at this same spot and hit the guard rail so its possible something is going on there on the track.
At the least I'm going to buy some new tires and see if I can soften and lower my rear end a couple more inches. Maybe that will keep air from getting up under the back end?
