First Time Drag racing

Interesting , I had a 69 440/4 speed coronet r/t that I couldn't speed shift at all. Almost always missed second gear in a dragrace . TOO dumb to do anything about it back then/16 yr old .

I don't agree, my EX 18 time national record holder friend attended a race recently "his car is wrecked < just watched" , and said there were only 3 stick cars in superstock at that race/ Guess what won !
How many 4 speed cars win the hemi shoot outs ? Not hardly ever !

Ask the SS Hemi guys why they don't run a clutch. They'll tell you and it's not what you think.

I know, for a fact (because the guy I got the info from isn't a bull rapper and I don't want to name drop because I catch hell for that) the FSS guys are BEGGING NHRA to let them use a sintered iron style clutch, but NHRA isn't budging at the moment.

There are several clutch guys building clutches for them, but they are expensive and costly to test, but right now, every car with a good clutch is quicker than the slush box cars. And that's just in testing.

And that's on a limited tire, blown engine. And they STILL are BEGGING for a clutch.

Hmmmmmmmmm
