Hahaha, yeah i know the fingers were a mistake, but it was cold as ****, and the girlfriend didn't want to get out of the car xD, so we had no one to mark us off. but i have rolling start raced that RSX several times, and SMOKED him. We're planning on going back this upcoming weekend, so i'll certainly clutch start this time :P

ya just try taking off around 3,400 spin tires but not too much, just enough for a kick start, when i was racing conelast year i was taking off, going to about 6,200 rpm in my GT and shift and my tires would still squak, like feeling the power

no thats understandable, you should be sitting there with the clutch in and reving the crap out of it thats when the gears grind and start smoke, if you quickly rev to 3 grand and start slowly letting clutch then completely let it go it does little harm

Got a new Clutchmasters performance clutch a couple of months ago, it is fantastic. I'll be sure to have the girlfriend mark and video the upcoming race and post it on here!
