    I forgot how bad burned clutch smells...
    I smelled several burnt clutches in the staging lanes! I didn't even know you were there. Should have said hello!

    So what was your best pass?

    ET wise?
    12.419 @ 118.46

    60' 2.143
    1/8et 8.18
    mph 88.68

    Second gear burnout and launch. Spun the tires hard but no wheel-hop on this pass. A slight sputter before my attempted third gear shift. Missed third gear. Made it on my second attempt. The ET was OK, considering the the HTRZ Sumitomo's on the back. 1/8th mile MPH was low due to the missed shift, but it picked up 30 on the back side. Can't complain about that. My Road Runner never picked up 30 on the big end...

    My last pass had a bit more MPH in it, but at that point the engine was trying to drive through the clutch so I parked it and called it a day. After it cooled down for an hour, it drove home just fine.

    The car needs sticky tires, a more robust clutch, and a driver mod.
