Be careful. That place is a skating rink. Low boost I'm thru the traps spinning on 888's.
Eric Anderson on the left, me on the right
two passengers, poor traction on the strip, spinning all the way down
it reads:
60ft 2.162
MPH 95.94
ET 8.225
video is uploading- we destroyed the clutch on the second run- we knew this might happen and it ended our night- no disappointment here- replacement will be adequate for the power she is making

I was going to ask the same thing. Didn't notice a new clutch listed in the original post. I saw your car make 2 passes and on the 2nd one I saw it smelled like you left a lot of that clutch at the starting line.
McLeod RXT (was not part of the build-I put it in to replace the OEM clutch that finally gave up the ghost)...the McLeod is a fantastic clutch- we just over powered it...
yes--no new clutch as part of the build...but now there is...lol...We let our friend Joey (in the Civic) get a third of the way down the track before we left and in our attempt to over take him (I think we did at the wire) we just roasted it...McLeod is dead...long live McLeod...
video of the car's first ever 1/8th mile pass (click to watch):
pardon any goofy commentary--we had fun and all reserve dissipated
the "let's do it again" part was the death knell for the clutch

the Toyo Proxis R888s did FANTASTIC...they hooked so well the clutch never had a chance...

yes--it was the tire and/or clutch slip that caused that (I think)...
and yes- they allow passengers as long as you have an approved helmet and then the car cannot go faster than 8.5s (yes--we beat that but nothing was said)...
They're not too strict with the rules here. Its not really a track. Its a part of the Qualcomm Stadium parking lot that they have turned into an 1/8 mile strip that they open up on a couple Fri nights each month. Thats why its also very slippery down the track. Its not prepped as good as you'd find at a normal strip.
Its not the greatest but it serves its purpose which was to cut down on the amount of illegal street racing out here
Great job on the car, I really like the custom rear seat delete. Sweet
Michael wants the limiter out of the way on his motors. He'd rather over spin the motor than bounce the limiter. Raise that limiter and keep your shift point the same.
nope--not too strict
I'll try to honor your expert advice
we launched so hard the clutch lasted 2 passes
It was inadequate at our power so we weren't surprised Users who are viewing this thread
