    Do you confirm having only 2 disks ? Don't you think taht with that new power ( 550 hp ?) you need now 3 plates and smaller diameter clutch
    What brand are you using Borg and beck ,AP or Tilton ?
    Its very Frustrating!

    Clutch is a Tilton 7-1/4" twin Ceremetalic Paddle Clutch Rated for 600lb/ft, so should be ample. & Currently I am only running 0.9 bat, so 470BHP 380Lb/ft...

    I dont think I have enough space for a tripple plate clutch. I have never been fully happy with the clutch, so may try something different...

    Re: Curborough sprint day

    It was an excellent day Neil. Nice little circuit and very relaxed atmosphere, it wasn't "over organised" which can happen some times.
    4 Strats in all Mine, John, Bob, and Geoff.
    There were plenty of camera's there so hopefully some pictures will be posted soon, had a couple of moments one of which was captured by a drone camera so that will no doubt be making an appearance.
    I wasn't sure would like the sprint format but would definitely do another.

    Re: Curborough sprint day

    Sounds like I missed a good day

    Done lots of sprints in the past myself & been to curborough as it was before the changes, the only issue I have with sprints in general is that you might only get 4 or 5 runs over the day.

    Look forward to seeing some photos...

    Neil you could have had at least 12 runs in if you wanted or more , run untill the time reaches 5.30 pm, for £60
    not sure how many Bob & Dave did, Bob put up the fastest time for the Strats
