Default GS-R: Wheel hop off of the line !

I was at the track yesterday running 15.4s all night (it was drizzling and I couldn't hook up well). The main problm is that everytime I took off, my freaking tires hopped all over the place shaking the car violently for a few seconds before they actually caught traction. Do any of you guys know how to eliminate that ?

What are you launching at? Do your self a a favor, if it is drizzling out and you are gonna run, Don't! Wheel hop is bad and is only going to cause you headaches down the road.

EXACTLY... don't expect to have successful runs when its drizzling outside. Unless you've got slicks with serious traction dry/wet... dont be a

I hear you guys...the thing was that I drove more than an hour to get there, and then when I finally got there and paid to run, thats when it decided to start drizzling.....so I said f*ck it, I'm not gonna waste the trip.........but next time I wont go if it looks like it is going to rain.....

Lower your tire pressure.
