Default Track day Knoxville Dragway

So i finally raced the mach at the track for the first time tonight. I had a blast! It all went good, except my diff was only spinnin one tire. I've got some ET Streets on it, and they hook pretty good. I had to pretty much leave at 2 grand and just bog it, or it would just blow the passenger side tire off. I did manage a few 8.7 passes though.

Good runs OP!

Your rear diff needs new clutches. They only cost like $50, but you still have to take the gears out to install them, so the labor cost will still be there. My automatic Mach was doing the same thing, aggravating as hell!

Here's a link to a nice carbon set-up, but if you just want it fixed you can always opt for a much cheaper clutch kit from Advance Auto. I would go ahead and spend the little extra $$ and make sure its done right though.
