My thought was to slow the extension of the shock as much as possible so the car could get out farther before the suspension reached full extension. We felt that if it reached full travel too quickly it could unhook the tires at that point, sounds like that could possibly be happening in your case,
just my 2 cents.....

Thanks Grant, I'll give that a try. I may have misunderstood Moneymaker when he said "Go as stiff as you can until it spins and then back off", he may have been talking about the initial hit. I'm trying to make it work until I can scrape together enough money for new tires. I'm running on a track that gets prepped once at the beginning of the day and goes downhill from there.
