Default Doh----So close

First off, let me state that we race at 5,600 elevation. The motor has about 600 miles on it. blew up the center puke clucth so had to put the factory one in so I could drive the car. All passes were on the motor only due to the clucth.

12.0@116mph 1.71 60'--So close
12.1@115mph 1.75 60'--Oh well
12.2@115mph 1.82 60'--first pass of the day

Getting closer to the 11's on the motor. I pretty sure the clucth has had enough now since it's making a wired nosie now. So I'm done for the year untill it reopens in Jan. Will have a new clucth in the car for the new years race season.

It's still open. I just don't want to go back out untill the new clutch is in. The factory clutch and this new motor don't agree with each other.
