Its a nervous habit I think, In my mind I am circulating the fluid in the clutch master/slave so it cools down. LOL Not sure if this is the case, but I have done it since my stock clutch would over heat with my first H/C setup 4-5 years ago.

I also wiggle the shifter a lot wile pulling up to the line, again, another stupid habit.

Im sure pumping the pedal does nothing with 600+F fluid in there, but I have done it for 5 years, why stop now... LOL

Thanks for the props guy!

It took a lot of passes down the track to get to where I am now. That's how I know with practice anyone can do it.

Very nice run. What rpm are you crossing the traps at? Sounds like you started to hit the limiter right as you crossed the line.

The car does sound really good, especially launching at that rpm.
