Hydraulic Clutch

Hi Ed
My request for usage of a hydraulic cluhch/throw out bearing was turned dowy by NHRA with the following rational.

Because it provides an avenue for a potential delay device (or the perception of same) and there is no real need for it in any car that I am aware of. The tech guys are in overload enforcing the existing rules and their interpretations and we do not need to burden them any more. I participated in the decision process w.r.t. your request and support the decision. There is no need to open this can of worms and the various interpretations that could evolve from it.
This answer is from Div. 2 tech. dir. Jim Collins with the concurrence of Len Imrrogno,Jim Skelly & Eric Lowe. I understand it even though I don't like it, so I'm off designing & fabbing mechanical clutch linkage.
