Lot of "IF`S" there! but Assuming it was "locked down hard" didn`t blow the tires off", I`d be betting the car owner would likely have a nice collection of broken clutch hubs,main shafts, trans gears, U joints, driveshaft yokes, ring & pinions, etc etc......

rory, i understand what you are saying, when i say locked down, i mean a normal lock up of the clutch. everything in the drive line absorbs some of the shock. my theory is if the motor stays in its power range, would it be safe to say that the more clutch the faster you will go or am i missing something. i am not being sarcastic, i am trying to learn. i know people are slipping the clutch and running faster. i just dont know why in some instances. we have a computer and are just learning with it. we do not know exactly what to look for. it is possible our motor is not building enough hp that this will come into play.
