so I was basically the only car in AI, so not sure if you can call it racing. But nonetheless, I did do some racing. Started P11 from results in race 1. I had the most HP there, so I ended up running out front, which isn't the most interesting video footage. The start is really the only entertaining part.

Unfortunately, my Quartermaster clutch was worn thin and decided to completing lose any sort of torque transferring capability, so that was the end of the fun. But I was winning for a short time.

Oh yeah, this was my comp. school weekend, race number 2 of my whole "career", which went well except for the clutch deal. So i didn't even get to run Sunday. Big bummer. It was sunny and 60 or so, darn shame to miss out on account of mechanical.

The beginning there was awewome...highest HP no doubt, you passed them like they were sitting still. What is your setup currently?

Thanks. It was funny I couldn't even floor it since the clutch was already on the way out at the start.
Running a fast burn 385 crate motor with a couple changes to it including cam and head gaskets and some light smoothing / polishing. Really simple motor but runs good and so far really reliable. Trans is t56 and 4.11 in a full floater 9 inch rear.
