But maybe it is the car/driver error causing it to wheel spin??? Not saying it is im just saying maybe??? Everytime i have taken off at calder it has been fine?

But his car has ALOT more power than mine.. so to alot of cars, but i just dont think its as bad as everyone makes out to be... Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Everytime i have taken off at calder it has been fine? Thats becuase your the PAZZO1! Seriously you have a valid point there Sam but for cars making close to 450+kw its impossible unless you really hit the perfect groove out of the 60ft. Your car was launchin tough though dude! You have nothing to worry about Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Everytime i have taken off at calder it has been fine? So 80% of the driver's dont know or cant drive according to what you've said..... I watched for the first time in ages (only because i was dragged there) and to say that there is nothing wrong with the track is just nieve... Maybe you didn't have a problem hooking up because of the huge amount of excess heat you put into your tyres..... Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Startline, not really bagging anyones driving skills at all, im no expert myself, thats why i said MAYBE thats what it is? There were quite a few LOW 10sec cars at calder friday night, if the track was that bad, how can they be running good numbers... you said "Maybe you didn't have a problem hooking up because of the huge amount of excess heat you put into your tyres....." if someone goes out to race and doesnt put enough heat in there tyres, what does that mean??? does that come down to driver error?? or not??
