Default tramping

from a standing start,
what cause's it?
and after 5 big launches what tends to break?
and finally how do you stop it?

car is a 2wd, strong stage 3 circa 350bhp, lightwieght fly, paddle clutch, koni's, good rear tyres ( which were deflated to 11 psi for more grip ) and some spring assister's on the rear.

you too talking about same car? 2wd dont have transfer box, Tramping is caused by control arms being able to move while under load along with beam and diff mounts.
