I see the problem. The damn track is slanted. Find one that is level and you'll probably run better!! Was that an old falcon that walked you in the first vid? Nice runs regardless. But not hooking def sucks major ***.

LOL i mounted the camera as good as i could, the mount was $5 so you get what you pay for.

to be honest i dont knowwhat type of car it was, didnt pay too close attention. there was so many clean fox bodies that night i sort of had tunnel vision if you know what i mean.

Any track that lets people come in and race on street tires is going to be poorly prepped

^^Dude, every track that I know of lets people run street tires so that has nothing to do with it.

We have tracks here that won't let people with dirty street tires on the track. Oh course, that is probably one reason why the fastest cars are in the south. The fastest car to run the 1/8th mile is 45 minutes from me.

On a track like Holt Florida, the car would probably hook.

I find with my micky's being probably as old or older then yours, that they need A LOT of heat!

always like to see video's of your car.

slick's and 15lb's of boost are needed

Obviously if your tires are all dirty they have to be cleaned lol. The only real reason for doing a burnout on street tires is to clean them because they don't react to heat like DR and slicks do.
