Why do these two things happen while at the track?

1. when I blip the throttle(in neutral) to decrease(thanks, Spiro) the air intake temp, the brake pedal softens or 'drops' slightly? I know it's vacuum related and I think it's normal--but not sure....

2. last nite at the track, my right rear tire was spinning on my short dry burnouts. That wheel well was the only one to have 'rubber bits' splattered all over it. I alternated lanes all nite(18 passes). I thought the non-slip rear end took care of this...

Thanks,

Dan

Sounds like your Diff. isn't locking up..You should get both wheels spinning...How many miles, have you changed the fluid?

It is a limited slip rear end. Sometimes you will only get a one wheel burnout. Or your clutches might be fried?

my L only has 6000 miles on it. Should I need to change the fluid? I've only made a total of 25 passes--the diff. should still be ok?
