Took my car to the track for the first time the other night. It was my first time ever running at a track. I knew my clutch was gone, but I wanted to get a time before my new clutch went in. My first run was a 15.1 @ 92 with a 2.20 60 ft. on a 4k bogged launch. Next run I dumped it at 5k and it seemed like it held fine and I got a 2.0 60 ft with a 15.2 @ 89 because I missed third. I tried a 6k launch and it slipped like a mad man and didn't get any better from there. My buddies said from the get go they could see clutch smoke coming from under my car since run #1, so that tells me it was slipping all the time. When my buddy changed my clutch he said black powder and dust came out everywhere. The disk was alright actually, but the pressure plate wasn't. I got the ACT 2100 in now and am going back to the track in a few days. Even with me still breaking the clutch in and babying it it still pulls like crazy and I can finally feel the full power of my car. Just thought I would share.
