I have a car that I built for a freind of mine and we took it to the track on 5-18-02 and with street tires on it the car went straight but when we put on slicks the car went straight until third gear. First and second gear it went straight but when you hit third gear the car's rear starts to the left hard and you have to get out of it to ever get it straight again. It goes so hard i almost hit the wall.
Has anyone had any experience like this and if so how did you correct this condition. Slicks were set at 12 psi and they were M/T ET drags. Any suggestions will be appreciated.
