Default took it to the track this weekend!
well guys i took my truck to the track and it was runnin as good as it usually does, but the problem was traction. I have 16x10s with a pretty good street tire but it would not hook at all i left out baby in it and thin tryed to romp down on it, but it still would not hook. It literally spun the whole eight mile. My truck has the power just needs the traction. What do you guys think would help the most with this problem?
