well guys we had a great time at the track friday night, i wish i could say the same for my car. the first run i made, i pulled straight to the starting lane without killing my car to let it cool down. I ran a 13.69 @ 103 mph with a 2.12 60' ft. I was real happy because i granny shifted the gears and didn't get to great of a takeoff, it felt real strong. My second run i didn't get a great launch (still getting use to the nitto's) but i missed 3rd gear. When i missed 3rd gear something tore loose in my centerforce clutch, the pedal got real stiff, so i let off of it and parked it. later when we went to leave i cranked it and couldn't put it in gear. So i killed it, put it in gear and then cranked it and it moved forward with the clutch pedal all the way down. Well to make a long story short we almost got all the way home and the clutch gave out. I had to get it towed the rest of the way. It was alright though me and my friend had an awesome time and it was alright. I was just disappointed in the centerforce though, i thought it would be able to take more abuse than just a missed shift. Any recommendations on clutches
