Default Mmm, I like Southbend ST3 clutch...

Well, as much as I love/hate to do it, I just went to the lone road around the corner to practice my launch for Friday drags and I love the way the new clutch handles the power.

I launched it several times at 3k-4k and it grabs like crazy. Once I kind of overreved it into 5.5k (accidentally) and it still grabbed like crazy although I wasn't too pleased with the 15-minute smell afterwards .

Well, let's just say that I'm looking forward to Fri and will report results (being my first track event).

Default rev to 3k-4k, let go of the clutch as you press on the gas,

no rolling. actually, the 5.5k launch was due to some rolling, so me no likey.
