    Aarons first track day. FML

    so, this triple disc clutch is quite grippy. and i was trying out the no-lift-shift stuff, not to good end either.

    first pass, got a little bite and it bucked and hopped. there was some damage done i did not realize at that time. we discovered it after 3 passes.

    but the first launch broke the outer driver rear cv, the inner passenger rear cv, and messed up the diff most likely. but we made three passes on it anyhow until we figured that out.

    it ran 11.09 @ 147 in FWD on pass # 3, dragging the broken rear end with it. you can hear the sounds it makes in the video, but not in the car.

    this first run had 4 wheels driving on the burnout, got squirrely fast. the next 3 burnouts were mellow in comparison, no wonder as the rears werent spinning.

    run one blew the AWIC coupler, bent the shift rod, broke stuff.



    run 2, it sorta died mid track, bent the shift rod again, and it ended up blown boost reference line off the ECU. and didnt know it was only a FWD car with damaged *** end.



    third pass, i decided to just do the normal and lift-to-shift. still unknown to us, FWD. and it ran 11.09 @ 147!!!!! was moving out!



    and today i popped in a spare (1 of 5) rear diffs in, and redid the rear axles. cant thank Janis enough for having the forethought to send me his axles prior to deportation. i needed them today!!! i had to put the driver one in and out three times, as he had ABS and i do not, and i had to grind all the ABS crap off but whatever.









    and then i built a new shift lever stop.

          wait til you guys read todays updates.

          it involves another broken axle on jackstands, just testing shift cuts. and running home for more parts, a MIG welder, 3 grinders, and me grinding the hub out in the pits to fit the last spare custom outer i have.

          and 160+ mph passes with many many video angles

            Speed is amazing.Last weekend I run 130mph and it's feel very fast,so +30mph is should fly .But why it's start broke all drive parts?Last year you run 9.3s-9.5s and that was no problem.Your engine have not much more power then last year?Weight is less now.

              more grip from clutch i think.

              last year i ran 2 disc setup. this year i am trying out a 3 disc setup i made. that first really bad wheel hop did it in i think.

              last year i had more time on the clutch and had the slip down on the launch. this triple disc is different.
