    You broke ANOTHER 8"? Man, that clutch is going to get expensive!

    What rpm are you launching at, and are you getting traction off the line?

    I cannot watch the videos right now. It is 3 am and the wife would kill me if I lit those videos up and woke her up.

    i was leaving the line like i leav a stoplight i wasn't droping the clutch

    i think the wheel hop killed it thats why i diden't do a burnout the other times and when i did i would try stay in the water a lil bit then come out of it

    it hopps kinda bad no vid to see what it looks like

    i have 275-50-17 tires nitto street tires

    it's all track but 4 feet where you start to do a burnout ??

    i was trying to put some traction bars on it but the tires get in the way and the exhaust does to so i need to find some that will fit with little modification :huh:

    awww, LA to SAC is only 3/4 of the drive to my house and just as far for him as sears point. Mashori has a hummer that can tow a trailer so he doesnt have to worry about breaking down and still trying to get home. i might have to consider renting a trailer for that particular trip as much as that is against my nature...
