my car would not hook with just a dry hop has to do with what tire you using how hard of tire it is i did it this way it work for me do you may have to try different things this was with a set of grand prix tires i run this tire now and do not get them very hot and go come to think about it i should not posted on this any thing i do i can brake them lose i allways got in the lane were someone laid down a fast pass and put some hot rubber down and put heat in the track
