Like Greg has alot of room to scoff

Glad to hear things are coming along. I remember that I called Center Force and they sent me a recommended clutch disk. Either eway, I always show up loaded with tools and extra parts so hopefully all goes well in September.

Man Dave that vid is sick. Good luck getting that footwork/rev matching down. As sarcastic as that sounded and I usually am, I really mean it. How bad a** would that be on the road course?

Yeah I think it might take a couple trips around the block to get that down.

Mesmerized... you and me both!

Yeah I talked a bit with both RAM and Centerforce and really liked their road racing intended LMC disc... it is meant to work with their LMC pressure plate, but with the pressure plate an extra $500 and the one I have looking fine, I just ordered the disc. We confirmed measurements so they said it should be fine.

I hope all goes well in Sept too.

Yeah 1st day at BW I hope to really get things down. A full day is a lot of time to get your coordination together. Maybe by 2nd day I can get a good rhythm going. I will say it looks easier to me than mastering rev matching with the traditional heel-toe clutch method. We'll see!

I used to run Buttonwillow on my bike, love that track! We even ran it forward and backwards one weekend, everything I learned the first day, forget it! Have a blast.

I was a little disappointed to see the guys running in the school group would be going CCW the next day. To learn the line in the CW direction one day and then change it up the next day?

Either way, should be a good time. Just sayin'.............

"Reverse engineering". A great saying for completely dismantiling a perfectly good racecar. Dude, we got some work to do.....
