My truck did the same thing. The chassis unloads from the violant weight transfer. Whats your wheelbase and ever try spring clamps?

114.5 wheel base. Yeah I normally run spring clamps. Took them off a while back. Forgot to put them back on..didn't even think of that till you mentioned it. They helped a little.

Thanks bro. I was really excited about the evenings prospects. Get there, still hot and run a new PB. Albeit only by .035 seconds. Went kind of down hill from there. Didn't get another pass in for 4 hours and screwed with things. Should have just left it alone and let the cool engine and air do its thing.
