Hey toofast,

That looks cool. I might go just to check it out and see what you guys are doing. I'm kind of fond of my clutch, but for $35 maybe I'll make a run or two.

So who's coming out? This is gonna be my very first track day...I'd love to get to race more than just two supercharged beasts that are gonna blow my doors off before I get off the line!

Something a little more sporting and in my league would be a lot of fun! Come on, guys!

Here's the problem: If I race you and win, I've beaten a girl. But if I lose, I've lost to a girl.

No one is gonna think, 'Hey Kevin is the one that tuned that car up.' They're going to say 'Hey, Mike lost to a girl!'


I don't think I can deal with that.

Unsticking.

Remind me and I'll re-stick it a week or so before the event.

Hi Leslie,
I'll race ya!! As long as I can get this stupid clutch to work right I think we could have a good race.Although my stock '84 might not have enough to keep up with Kevin's tune up,but I'm willing to give it a try! Besides,I don't mind being wipped by a girl

If you rev to 1400 RPM and dump the clutch, yea somthing bad might happen.
When the lights change, leave the line slow, then put your foot into it. With steet tires that's all you can do otherwise they spin down the track.
Hope to see ya there.
Tony
