I went to the drags last night, for the first time ever. I did 6 runs in all with an average of 16sec . My reaction time wasn't the best @ .300's and with 2 subbs in the trunk (I didn't know I was going to drag @ the time). But anyways, I was getting massive ammounts of wheel hop at the starting line, which more than killed the run. I read some other guys post in the Mazdaspeed forum and I followed his direction of what RPM's to shift at and what RPM to idle while waiting for the tree to go green.
Basically, how the hell do you get over wheel hop? Could it seriously damage the engine/trany? Maybe it's best not to peel or rev so high @ take off?
