Clutch over heating?
Went out for an open run night Friday. After about the 5 run clutch was smelling horrible and kept slipping. I don't think I was riding it, but was defiantly holding it at about 3.5k to launch. Turn around was pretty quick, would line right back up after a run. If you guys have any suggestions on a better way to launch would love to hear it. Was just getting the car figured out when the clutch got to hot and would just spin

I don't really do drag racing but from what I read here most people that do launch at 2.6~2.7k for stock NA. At 3.5k your just spinning your wheels or as you noticed, your clutch.

If you smell clutch, that's too much slip ... try lower RPMs at launch.
