Nice launch. I think I have it down now. I figured out the best way to slip it a little and not bog. I smelled clutch the first time I tried it. I hate that smell

Congrats guys on tearing ish up down in dc

A shep stage 2 tcase with quaife is on the short list for this season. We try to get wheel spin for split second on the launch to minimize drive train shock. Bogging kills the driveline when it snaps.

Between Mike and I, the car went through 38 launches like that this weekend...

We definitely abuse the clutch on the launch to try and save the tcase. There's a little slip and then a smooth, but quick, release to full engagement. It also helps we have a twin disk to deal with it. It hasn't missed a beat yet (knock on wood).

Decided to swap my bov to the Synapse on Friday; plan on tracking with the Synapse to see which I liked more. Upon removal, I noticed wear marking of the diagphram on the TiAL that shouldn't there. Sent email to TiAL Sport...now sending it in! Sweet.

Thanks Pete! I am flying high still every time I watch that video I get all pumped up.

Just to let you guys know what the Super Challenge is all about, basically all class winner and closest second place in class get into the Super Challenge so they have a total of 32 drivers. Then you are basically trying to run your fastest time from competition. So they determine the winner of each side and "heat" by closest run to your time. If you beat your fast time then you are indexed again for the next heat. So the left side course was a second or more slower than the right side. I ran the left side first, after that the guy who I was running against was 1.3 seconds ahead. So I had to run a time good enough to get me the win, luckily that right side was in my wheel house yesterday. Plus I was cutting .5xx most of the challenge from what I am told, so my inner drag racer broke out yesterday!

That had to be my most exciting Motorsport experience ever. I have won things in the past, but nothing close to this. I hope you guys can appreciate why we love these ProSolos from the video.

Shoe's car got hammered this weekend, but it took it like a champ. That front diff was like Rocky Balboa, just taking shots all weekend. Good news is we won tires and $. I thought we had 7 tires coming to us, but it seems they changed it this year so I won 4 and Shoe won 1 for a total of 5. Whatever, it was a good weekend!
