I went racing the other day. I made only 4 runs.
On the way home I noticed I was chirping at every light, not even trying to. I figured I was just hyped up after racing.
But the next two days I drove the car, I was getting wheel hop at low rpms launches (less than 2000 rpms). Not hard wheel hop like at high rpms. This was moderate. But it was enough that I could feel the hop and the tires chirped two or three times before I started to move.
The iroinc part is at higer rpms, the problem went away. It only happened at low rpm launches.
I drove alot on Saturday and the problem seemed to go away for the most part. I did notice it a couple of times on Sunday, but not every time like on Saturday.
Can anyone explain this? If I should take it to the dealer, what story can I use?

My guess at it is that from your runs at the track, you flattened the surface a little bit on your tires if you did burnouts, and now you get a little better traction and that's causing the wheel hop. Take it with a grain of salt since I'm no pro at this...
