There is a street car shoot out coming up in a couple weeks at my local track, if the weather holds I'd like to run it again. The last one I ran the track was prep nil and I suppose this one will be no better. In the last one I made it to the second round but my car spun at the hit, I peddled it and pulled into second and 60-80' out it got stupid and almost crossed the center line before I got it caught up and the race was lost as I couldn't run my opponent down and he went on to win the class.

If my car spins at the hit what adjustments do I make to the shocks? I have some ballast I can add if needed to help keep it hooked and I can leave in second gear to help tame it on the hit. I'm on a 325/50 MT radial and have Viking double adjustables on all four corners, Cal Tracs, monos and stock front suspension. Also I was foot braking at the first event, the trans brake resulted in instant smoke.

Any suggestions, advice?

Thanks, Justin
