Thanks for the comments!

Just to clarify, I am on the stock clutch, and it's not slipping at all. I was launching at 4k, but for about the first 5 feet I was slipping it, then pretty much just dumping it. It just hooked up and went. I actually felt like there was more left in it too. Next time I go back I will see how far I can push it.

I think this track was just prepped REALLY well. It was super sticky on the line. The last run I was powershifting, and the tires screeched in 2nd, 3rd, AND 4th gear, so that definitely tells me that my clutch is strong.

BTW, my first launch was a 2.2 60'. It gradually progressed to that 2.0. I was getting better with every run, but then they closed the track down at 11pm... Can't wait to go back!
