Beating them up is what it's all about, I didn't buy these kinds of parts to keep them on the shelf.

Are you referring to the 'tamer as snake oil?

Re: manual trans and clutch quaetion
 

My opinion is ..... I have never been able to get a clutch tamer to close a storm door consistently or properly.... I don't believe I want it hooked to my clutch......

Grant, Does he "bracket race" like we do here?

If not ...irrelevant ;-)

Here you go.... Lamb, 2019 ,Gateway

14 cars...4 rounds
.083, .068, .087, .078

I don't know about y'all but I couldn't get past the first round of NHRA Stock
with lights like that.

Re: manual trans and clutch quaetion
 

...but the car/clutch is pretty consistent with decent efficiency. Not bad for a clutch using a storm door closer instead of counterweight...

Re: manual trans and clutch quaetion
 

A tip of the hat to all the replies. I enjoyed the reading and education. At this time, the class and organization I was considering is it's the infancy. I am not willing to invest $6,000.00 plus for trans and clutch and related items that may have a very limited application. I am going ahead with the build of my 75 Vette but initially it will be an automatic for foot brake no e racing. With an eye on the manual trans class in the future.

Larry Woodfin, I'm with you on the investment.
The rules makers are stuck on stick shift only. I even suggested a Bruno drive with a G force 5 speed. A sizeable investment for an index race.
I just happen to have a very handicapped left side from race car accident.
I do not have the ability to clutch or the physical abilities to do required clutch maintenance.
I have actually stepped up to sponsor the new Nostalgia Modified.
I wish them Luck with their events.
After I heal from the recent left foot repair I plan on having my Gen 3 V-6 SS/Modified program back in operation & being at some NHRA divisional events.
