Troy if the clutch is slipping why does the tach not move? Is it an example of acceleration curve not matching the one set in the computer, and then the computer adjusting the air intake to make it match? I always thought the clutch slipped or the tires spun with the tach always moving forward!

When was the last time Peter Biondo, Anthony Bertozzi and Dan Fletcher all went out in the first round of Super Stock?

Here is the helmet cam on Micheal Iacono racing Anthony Bongiovanni. I will have more photos of Super Stock later on today.

Larry, these cars have a built in sensor that only allows them to accelerate under full power in a heads up situation. It took a lot of time and effort to accomplish this but it is proving to be well worth it.

I see guys are icing down the blowers on the Mustangs - they will eventually figure out that can be a bad thing - If you cool the case down with hot rotors inside then the rotors will rub the housing at start up taking the rotor coating off and causing the unit to loose efficiency once it comes up to temp. Or worst case the unit will seize due to rotor OD contact. It will be an expensive learning experience.

Hey Larry, The tach only moves foward or up if it is tire spin, when the clutch slips its like it on the conveter in a auto. just kinda sets there for a instant then catches up and goes on.

Friday nights are for the Pros - that way we can get together with friends and chow down along with some beverages and bench racing .Here are a few photos I took before first round this morning ..........
