Dude it was horrible hahah. My pressure plate bolts backed out of my clutch. It was my clutch slipping, my first run was a lot of tire spin though too. Especially off the line since I had to go through the water box and the track was pretty cold. The RWD cars were hooking so so, must be nice to do a 5 second standing burnout!
The funny part is I still managed 11.4 at 128
1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th all were slipping. My revs kept spiking up and moving back down. On the third run, I made my pass, picked up my slip, and my clutch pedal started shaking like crazy, then the car shut off. Its gonna be down for a week or so, no biggy.
The interesting part is there was Red Loctite on the bolts plus they were torqued to spec. Help me figure that one out!

11.4 @ 128 still isn't bad for all the issues you were having!! Still post your slip or at least a break down of it so I can add you to the list!
Eh for now Ill skip the slip. Very abysmal and Im very unhappy. I knew as soon as I launched that something wasnt right. Never assumed it was the clutch though in a million years. My spring break is next week so Im going to be fixing everything then.
Like you said, the good thing is really knowing that the car still moved out that well considering there was no pressure on my discs and that there is A LOT left in it. Thats what Im excited about.
Because racecar

Hey Mikey, I thought you said the run was done on 27psi on FB...Josh posted 29psi above...Which one was it? I just want to make sure I am putting the correct info on the list...
It was 1 brief spike to 29psi in 2nd... 3rd and 4th were both only 27 psi... I was under Josh's account, so that is my bad... he doesn't need other people making him look bad, he does a good job of that on his own 
Thanks Tom, that was Mikey driving... he was actually shifting slow... he was scared he was gonna break another tranny LOL
