Hey Matt. I def have not authority to say you are wrong... or an idiot...
What I can say is I've spent the last couple months talking to all kinds of people on the subject of T101/Jerico dogbox trannies, and there were def mixed opinions on some subjects (using the clutch vs not, and clutch size/usage mainly). But most that I talked to who road raced -- and even 1 guy who built and maintained the T101A driveline for a Rusty Wallace Craftsman team for 8 years -- encouraged not using the clutch on the track.
Here is a video in a T101A thread on another forum I found, and what I will be trying to mimic on the track:
Oh, and since you mentioned I love to kill Muncies.... here is the current Muncie Graveyard at the shop.
