I didn't think clutchless transmissions were legal in a stocker. Maybe FS is different?

Mike, Victor uses a clutch assisted transmission. It looks like he is not pushing the clutch in but if you look real closely, you will see a very fast foot movements. I use the clutch on every run!

Good morning all, todays racing will be on hold for awhile. It rained on and off all night. At the present time it has stopped and there are calling for it to clear up by noon. Its still cloudy out and looks like it might start up again.

No schedule has been posted as of yet, but I'm sure it will be an abbreviated one.

Angelo, I'm using a go pro, still working on mount to stop the shakiness.

Thanks Sal, still have to fine tune my skill level.

I forgot to post the first photo yesterday. Dave Barton and Mike Skinner chatting before the final Factory Stock Showdown run.
