The two ways to get more holding power out of a clutch are with a grippier friction material or more clamping force. There is a clutch shop here in town that re-springs pressure plates for everything from heavy trucks to race cars. There has to be someone over there doing similar things. Just an idea.

Well, clutch has been holding fine on the track. It's just fifth and sixth gear that slips. And only on highway driving when it gets hot.
Got second place in last race. Excellent position considers that these were my brakes:
TSE BBK package should be here in Finland at Jul/11
And video how to drive without brakes:
I really like how the car drives. Those cheap Federal RS-R tires are awesome for their price and with the new wheel alignment car easy to throw around. With roughly 340whp it’s not slow either. When I get my 11.75” TSE brakes I think it’s going to be very well balanced weekend race car.

First of all, LOVE THE VIDEOS!! Keep making more and more
Next time you shoot a vid, do me a favor and:
-attach the camera to your steering column so that the speedo and tach are both clearly visible.
-do 1-4th or whatever gears you're comfortable going through.
No need to shift fast or do anything crazy. I'm just fascinated with comparing peoples speedometer sweep and trying to get an idea of what kind of power relates to what kind of needle movement.
lol hope that makes sense
