When I first raced my car it had bad wheel hop. But after launching hard a bunch of times I learned what works and what doesn't work. Now I can launch without wheelhop all the time. Basically if I let the clutch down too fast, it will break loose and hop. If I slip the clutch just right I can spin the back wheels without any hopping.
When I'm over-eager to get a good launch I end up making it break loose and hop. When I'm calm and have the feel of the car, I'll get no hop.
