In the David Barton video driving the hemi car. When he gets in high gear just before he lifts, it sounds like the motor lays over. Did it sound to anyone else like it might have been a problem or just pulling the motor down with the loss of gear? Just curious about what I heard.

Thanks to those who do the Live From threads. I really enjoy the reporting. It has to to me a lot of work to race and keep us all entertained at the same time.

To answer your question Curtis, it appears to me that there was way too much clutch slip in the Hemi car. More than likely David Barton aborted that run to avoid damaging the clutch. It sounded that way to me in first gear through 4 gear. This is the way it appeared to me. With the Racepak system, all that will be on the data graph. Adjustments can then be made to get down the track.

G-Force 5 speed....maybe. I think Liberty also makes a clutch-type 5 speed also.

I found a few more photos from yesterday. DRC has the latest rounds up so no point getting into the rounds. The weather has been great all morning and at the present. Rain coming in tonight, but it is a fast moving front and we should be okay for tomorrow. It will be a lot cooler, should make for some interesting racing.

Curtis, David had a clutch issue and had to lift.

Looking at the weather conditions for tomorrow look out its gonna be fast!

Better question is what tire was on Victor's 5 speed car?
