    hehe my clutch is twitchy at the moment too, but I don't have the cashola to replace it, so it's getting special treatment for a while. Ignore my activities in the wet the other night...

    I should be able to make it out to spectate (didn't really look at the dates just relied on our last conversation when you talking about it Jon).

    Dmac, even with a new clutch I wouldn't be taking it to the strip for full on launches. If you do babying it off the line will be where it's at in which case your time won't be that great. Basically if you don't break traction at launch you will destroy a clutch. Have a chat to Guy about it, he told me he knows of at five that did their clutches at the strip.

    Cheers,
    Trent

    take it to the QR sprints if you want to unleash it. You're less likely to ruin a clutch, but will give your tires a work out. Next one is late july.
