First race of the year

Went to my first race of the year this year. Got the hood problem fixed! Car ran really well but still having trouble getting hold of the track. !.36 60' and still spun. Ended up losing third round but with a spinning 1.42 60' what do you do? Tried air pressure changes, shock adjustments, loosened and tightened, didn't make much difference. Everyone was having trouble hooking today so I'm thinking the track was junk and no matter what I tried it wasn't going to hook. Lost third round by .0062, .04 off my dial. Lights were ok though. Two weeks till Atco and a good track. Can't wait! If this beast doesn't hook at Atco I see mini tubs in my future! Gotta get it hookin!

put some tire under it!

It isn't a tire problem its a suspension problem theres guys hookin the same size tire with way more power in the same car. You can still spin off the line with it fully tubbed if its not right. And as far as last nite Mel yes the track sucked bad so don't base anything from that Cause when its good your car hooks There were fully tubbed wheel standers last nite that spun sideways & never lifted a tire at all.
