who double clutches when racing?

 

I do but only when drag racing.

 

Only when I blow the welds on my intake manifold, and my floorboards fall out.

 

double clutching is to hard on street/road course for me, not that i ever race on the street you know, but i tried mastering the art of blipping throttle while downshifting to stop faster but it was too hard. double clutching while dragging has shaved about half a sec on my civic and escort @ track but i haven't had time to bring evo there yet though.

 

i thought double clutching was only used if you didn't have synchros...like it big oldskool dumptrucks and such..

 

that is true, you can't drive those w/o double clutching. but double clutching your car will let it shift faster and firmer. but, easy to double clutch when driving slow:i.e. big dump truck, harder to do it quickly. actually, so far on the evo, there hasn't been much difference, will check @ track one day though.

 

alright i feel like an idiot asking this, and i know i should search it.. but i figured since we're on the topic of it, what is double clutching?...

A little info on this subject

 

im pretty sure it is as follows:
clutch in
shift out of gear (neutral position)
clutch out
match rpms with throttle
clutch in
next gear
clutch out
FLOOR IT :-D

of course you gotta do it fast... i havent done it myself yet

 

but isnt this only done while downshifting

 

Yup. Useful technique when going 60 and you want to go from 5th to 3rd to pass someone's slow ***.

 

hahahahahahaha! Granny-shiftin'! lol lol lol @ The F & F!

 

ROTFLMFAO!!!!!

 

Something tells me I'm missing a humorous reference. This is what I get for not watching that steaming pile of a movie.

 

I don't really remember the movie, but I believe a character makes a reference to "blowing the welds on my exaust manifold."
2 things, that I think are wrong with this.
1. There is no way the car he is talking about still has an exaust manifold, almost garanteed to be a header.
2. Exaust manifolds don't have welds, he is again talking about a header, I believe.
Not to mention how ridiculous the comment is ANYWAY. After all, I know how common it is to "blow the welds on a exaust manifold"
