Stick car, too much clutch?

[Rory McNeil]

Well, this is my bracket car, and I normally go to 12-14 races a year, every year, so consistancy and reliability are at least as important as absolute lowest ET possible. That said, Jeff, using your 1320 formula, my car seems to pretty much hit its potential pretty well dead on, even with my "less than ideal" clutch setup. Actually. if you watch that last pass on the video, it even ran a bit quicker than the formula shows. As I mentioned earlier, with the stock floor and trans tunnel, removing the bellhousing requires pulling the engine, and frankly, I`m just too lazy to do that on a regular basis. If running too much clutch can continue to give me a couple of years on a disc, maybe I`ll sacrifice that 5 hundreths or so.

Then it doesn't seem there is a problem!
