I think the problem is that your racing a high power 4x4 pickup at high speed. Thankfully your in Canada so you won't kill me when you and your speed demon friends wreck. Keep racing and prove Darwin right.

sounds like a rev limiter to me. What do you have controlling the fuel?

is it an automatic? if so, it's slipping. if it's a stick, then the clutch is slipping.

lets see some pix of this beast. before it gets sent up in a fiery ball.
