Default First time running the quarter

Took my car out to the local drag strip last Friday. Wasn't sure how it was going to run, being I'm still on stock clutch. I've heard many stories about them not liking dig racing. Well, found out first hand how true it is. I was only able to get one decent pass, as the clutch started to slip the second run of the night.

I left a little hard off the hit and the tires broke loose. Had to feather the peddle to regain some traction. I was hoping for, at least, a 10.99 for the night. Even though I didn't hit it, I'm still happy with the results.

Get that 60' down and the car will run 10's no problem. Sounds good, looks good!

Thanks! That's the plan. Looking for a clutch right now.
