going to the drags tomorrow to try out my new m & h slicks. any last minute advice?

 

Nope. Hope you enjoy it!

 

Let us know how you do with the burnouts. Mike said he had trouble with Neal's set and kept frying his clutch. What size M&H are you running? What pressure will you start at?

 

im gonna start at 15 pounds. well that sucks. i dont wanna keep frying my clutch. did he still race?

 

I think my problems were driver error. I fried the clutch on the burnout, and could not run again after that. It takes a while for a clutch to cool off from something like that.

If this is your first time on slicks you might want to try not doing a burnout in the water box so you can get used to them. Just spin them as you approach the staging light. Give your self a few runs to get used to how it feels then do the water box burnout.

Also, don't be like me and slip the clutch or let it out slowly. You just have to side step it. It's a really cool feeling launching on slicks.

I used 14psi cold.

 

what do you mean by side step it?
you mean just drop it fast at a high rpm?

 

how high an rpm do you launch at with the slicks?

 

well i gotta leave in about fifteen minutes, so if you could let me know by then, that would be really cool.

yeah i am really curious about the launching rpm with the slicks.and i assume you mean just slip my foot off the clutch to the side?

 

Yhea, don't try and modulate the clutch. Just quickly slide your foot to the side. It's the fastest way to engage the clutch. I would say try 4.5K-5K clutch dump the first time and see what happens.

 

Good luck!!!

 

ok. hey thanks alot!
