Wheel hop is most likely from a standing start, where the rear tire literally hops or chatters do to suspension compliance. On a track car I think more of curb hopping or dropping wheels, letting the rear tire spin-then grip, shocking the drivetrain.

Wheel hop is new to me, I do at times during a race go to far up a curb in a corner which will make one rear wheel go up an return to the ground - is this wheel hop? Is this something that will brake an LSD?
