I need to replace my stock clutch, What do you guys recommend for Track use only.

What kind of life span are you getting out of your stock clutch?.

I'm not mechanically oriented at all so probably shouldn't be commenting, but I would think that typical tracking is easier on the clutch than street driving since you almost never do standing starts and aggressive 1st-to-2nd shift (except for the newbies that try to impress leaving the hotpit), and the torque change between smooth shifts in the higher gears at redline are relatively small? and you never have to ride your clutch in traffic.
(I've also only used stock clutch on two extensively tracked/raced cars without a problem.)

Thanks for the info.

I could be wrong about the relative demand on the clutch; just my thoughts. Maybe a more technical person will comment.

I've not had a problem with the stock clutch. Some say they think it slips but no that I've noticed. The same person said the transmission on their van was slipping and needed to be rebuilt or replaced yet I've been towing my 20' enclosed trailer and car with it for 20K miles and it works just as well today as when I bought it over a year ago

Oh Erik, this reminds me, coming back from Pahrump last night against a strong headwind I got only 8.9 mpg with the Ridgeline . Towing a box in wind so inefficient (55-60 mph at constant 4000 rpm or higher ).
