I'm considering going to the Dragstrip in Palmdale, anyone interested in rolling this weekend. I've never gone so I want to try it out at least once.

 

ooooooooh i would, but i need to break in my clutch first... just finished installing it... 5AM!!!

 

Now that's what I call commitment, either that or the S is your only mode of transportation and you had no choice but to stay up all night to finish the install... either way, I give you props! By the way, how long does it take to break in a clutch? miles? time?

 

it isnt, i have a family car, but my wife needs it. i carpool to work, and my buddy was ok with driving all week. i just stayed up cuz im sick of working on it and wanted it DONE!!!!

it takes 200-300 miles of easy to moderate city driving to break it in, according to ACT. it can be accelerated by 'slipping' the clutch hard a few times in 10 minute intervals.

 

duff, you got 3 days to drive the hell out of it. i'd say if you drove to work the rest of the week, and maybe did a couple of clutch dumps on the way, you will be set for saturday!!!

 

thing is, im goin to the track day april 11th, so im trying to save my tires too!! lol besides, the drive to work is all highway, and since i drive off hours, there is no traffic. no clutch actuation=no break in

mark would u go to LACR?

 

i actually want to. but i can't do it this weekend. i really want to see just how sh!tty a driver i am. i prey for a 14.7 or under. if i go higher than that i will shoot myself.

if there are other s2k's there pulling down low 14's then i may just say screw it and dump the clutch.

how much does this cost, i feel like such a rookie.

 

Actually, it's a $15 entry fee but I don't know about this weekend anymore(at least Saturday) because a 20% chance of rain is being forecasted.

 

yeah dont go this weekend .

mark, you gotta remember palmdale has eleveation of 2000' feet. No stock s2k will run less that 14.7. hehehe

 

it's actually 2700 ft above sea level wth horrible weather condition, but my first run there was a 14.6...after that it was low 14's .

Dump the clutch at 66.5K there and shift well...you'll run well.
