Well finally got the clutch in after along 3 weeks wait but it was worth it, went down to the local track and with and called in an ol buddy hager and he brought the patriot sled in and we did some test hookin! got a total of 9 hooks in about 2 hrs, clutch holds great had a bad hop comin out of the hole still but the track was hard as a rock and dusty after many adjustments with tuning and clutch we finally got some distance 290' and then brought it out of the hole lit hard bounce hard once smoothed out and took off only problem is the front two tires were not spinning!:doh: couldnt really tell so i never let out of it ended up going 295' and when i got at the other end of the track everyone let me know that i had no front end on er, so we loaded up and headed home. learned alot today and making tires change again to better suit the gear ratio and track speed. hopefully this means ill be at an even shortly!!!! its been to long!!!:st:
 
Congrats man.. must be nice to have a sled that close.

Who's running the Patriot now.. is Tim Thomas back or not??
 
Glad to hear you got it all buttoned back up. Whos clutch did you end up going with?
 
ya i want to but dont know how! Ill try to let someone borrow my camera that knows what there doing!
 
Are you still spinning that motor hard or were you trying to keep it around 4500 rpm for DHRA rules?

well right now its spinning hard but when we go to the dhra pull we'll back it down to 4500rpm. Just got off the phone looks like could be making alot more changes here.........
 
Glad to hear you got a clutch that is working. Cant wait to see it run!

Drop the camera off here at my house? :hehe:

Seriously you should be able to go to Start -> All Programs -> Accessories -> Windows Movie Maker. Then use the 'Capture Video from Device' link on the left once you have your camera connected to the PC.

The best way is the 1394 i-link cable. If you have a 1394 port in your CP it will work great.
