Re: My Winter Upgrades

Running a Fidanza 4.3. Overall seems to hold my power very well, but it was pretty apparent today that it hates launching. 3 of my 6 runs I had to cut short because of the clutch slipping. I don't put all the blame on the clutch, as I'm sure I'm not launching perfectly and slipping it a little too much at the launch. But on the last two passes, I felt like I didn't really slip it too much, and still it just wouldn't hold.

So a different clutch may be in the future.

Otherwise, yeah for my first time ever, I am extremely happy with those times. I know in time, with some more experience and seat time, I should be able to knock a few tenths off and be into the 10's.

Maybe a cage will have to be in my future also...
