SORRY..LOl..its just a figure of speech..remember i am an old east coast southern boy..
all it means is to hook hard off the line,(slicks,VHT)..."No Wheel Spin"...when this happens as you may know its transferring all the energy to the ring gear.axles,drive shaft u-joints,yoke etc...
when you hook that thing "dead hook"...you can take it to the bank its gonna find the weak spot in your drive line..
it normally raises its ugly head somewhere between the axles and drive shaft,u-joint.. 1st...
Nothing to take lightly..
