Default Video of pass that killed my clutch

this was my last pass of the day when my clutch was toast, at the begining of the vid you can see the time from my previous run , i had 4 in total i think. And they just got worse and worse till this one. it was slipping real bad on launch and through the run, the trip back on the return road took forever just crawling. ended up having to get it towed home, cause it would just free rev in gear, and not move

your Rev-limiter and yourself must have a special relationship.

are you doing the burnout in second gear? if so do you have a line lock?
if not, when you dump the clutch in second and then get on the brake, it may hit the rev limiter initial, but then back off on the gas and brake slightly, and just try to hold the car around 5500 rpm during the burnout. it will take some practice, but you will get, and you will have some clean burnouts.

Not only did your clutch get smoked, but so did you off the line. I just had to say it because no one else did.
