about 10 years ago, i had just got my 383 barracuda running. took it to the track a few times to tune out the bugs. Finally got my slicks, had been running street tires. Get them mounted and get to the track enter the water box and get in it. Car revs to the moon but does not move. I start playing with my shifter, nothing. I get it in reverse and back out of the box. I take it back to the pits thinking i had destroyed my trans... My friends come over and ask what happened. I told them it just free revved, and i think my trans is messed up.
My buddy said my tires sure were spinning a lot for my tranny to be bad. first time i had a set of slicks in the water, they sure are slippery. LOL, no trans issues just driver issues.
