Any 9 sec stick cars here? Launch Vid.
Just wondering if anybody has figured out what kind of clutch it takes to get in the 9's. I'm stuck at low 10 sec passes, and always breaking stuff
This 1/8 mile Vidio, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uk_pWioiI3s
shows me launching with a 2 disc Mcleod street twin, seem to hit way to hard.
There is slo motion at the end, with to much wheel spin
Is anyone using a soft-loc or similar clutch in there street/strip car with any sucsess?
Thanks ---Bill.

First, I thank all of you for the kind words, and your honesty.dklkse wrote: You might want to try a forum more specific to drag racing.
And yes there are other drag race sites that have been very helpfull. The problem is very few stick drag racers, seems to be about 98% autoslides.
I now have a plan in motion, but allways looking for input when I came accross this site, here's what I found.
It's a 7" 2 disc (cindered iron) with adjustable base and centrifugal presure, from Rob Youngblood, @ Advanced Clutches. http://www.advancedclutches.com/products.htm#Sportsman
Got it today, it weights 20 lbs, stock clutch and flywheel 55 lbs.
It will probably take about a month to match balance and fit everything, then back to the track I go I can keep you posted if your interested?
Here's some pics of the goods.

Wish I could help you too, but I was never really into cars until about 2-3 years ago. If I had been, I'd probably know all there is to know about clutches and drag racing. My whole family was into it. Father, mother, uncle, brother, stepfather. Even me, except I'll admit I just liked to watch the cars go really really fast.
Anyway, those pictures are pure sex! Good luck with your build...hope it works beautifully for you.

I was hoping people would not see it as a drag car, it's street diven, just not a daily driver . But I quess that's my falt if all I show you is drag vidio .NjSi wrote:i know this is ot but where did you find your original car, like before you made it is a drag car?
My wife found the car 4sale in our local paper spring of 1999. There's more on that story in this CHP feature.
