Default fishy?

well..i went to the track on friday and i went up to the burn out box to get all of the pebbles and stuff off the tire(i didnt smoke them) the thing is it didnt feel like my tires were spinning...i dont think its my clutch cause it acts like normal on the street..also...after i experienced the above mentioned...i was wheel hopping extremely baddly...is it time for a new rear end w/ a new suspension?

I think your imagining it. But the wheel hop can be corrected with LCA's

pull the rear cover and find out. if there's clutch material left in the packs then it should be ok as long as there's no obvious damage or hunks of metal in the oil.

better rear end suspension and a beefed up back end will certainly be a good idea if you're going to beat on it at the track very much.

Go do a burn out on the street and see if you left two marks. Or have someone watch your wheels while you're in the box.

I agree. Take some window chalk or something, make a line or mark on each rear tire, and have someone watch to see if both are spinning.
