Default McLeod Line Launch

Anyone ever hear of/use this device? Almost seems like line lock for your clutch pedal. Seems really interesting

The McLeod Line Launch is perfect for weekend and bracket racers that are looking for that added edge.

With the Line Launch..simply release the clutch pedal until the clutch is slightly engaged...press the button. The line launch will hold your clutch at that point and you can remove your foot from the pedal.

If you have an existing roll control..apply the brakes..depress the switch to the second position..take your foot off the pedal.

Now your brakes are held and your clutch is at the optimum launch position.

To launch the car hit the throttle and release the switch. The clutch will engage and brakes will disengage.

Just imagine the improvement in reactions times you'll see!
McLeod is proud to reintroduce its world famous Line Launch System. When thousandth's of a second can make all the difference, the Line Launch is your ace in the hole. The innovative Line Launch gives the driver the ability to control clutch release by simply letting go of a switch. With the McLeod Line Launch you depress the clutch pedal to the desired position for release and then by activating a switch you lock the clutch in place. Simply let the switch go to release the clutch and launch the car for a quicker reaction time. For cars equipped with an existing roll control device, McLeod's new Two Stage Button is available. Using our Two Stage Button in conjunction with the Line Launch and your existing roll control device, you can release the both the brake and clutch at the same time. "The Line Launch is just one of the products that shows McLeod was and still is the most innovative clutch company in the industry," says Paul Lee, NHRA Funny Car Driver and McLeod Racing owner, "Products like the Line Launch give McLeod drag racing stick shift customers the competitive edge they need at the track." Our new Line Launch and Two Stage Switch are ready for order and can be purchased along with McLeod's full line of performance driveline products.

Just for giggles, look up "redneck slipper clutch" on Youtube. Much cheaper and more effective, just bug-fugly as sin!
