I took it to the strip today. The engine didn't blow up (thankfully). On my first run I spun the tires in 1st to clear stuff from the tires. After staging, I jumped the gun in 1st, and that was it. I couldn't get out of gear. Then I barely got into 2nd and spun out. Then I wasn't able to get in gear afterwards and kept grinding, so it was a 24 sec. limp down the strip. The clutch disk pretty much stuck to the flywheel permanently.
I did destroy whatever tread was left on these tires on this short run, so new tires and better clutch disk this week. So for $30, I barely got to finish 1 run.
