1st & 6th make for a good weekend!

Looks like we have the bounce taken care of. Friday night I took 1st at Smithton Pa. Made fuel money to go to the Stoneboro Pa DHRA pull . Needless to say I'm very happy with a 6th place finish in Street with the amount of competition at a DHRA event.

The clutch seemed to be the problem all along. No vids from this weekend, I've got one from Mercer-Grange Pa. I'll get it uploaded and post a link.

Congrats on your win.
That last video you can really see the difference on getting the bouncing cleared up compared to the earlier ones.

Kiwk we put the clutch in last sat. Got it at 10 am and had the truck loaded at 12:30 to go to a pull. We've had 4 hooks since and no bounce.

Good runs Kevin!! Glad you got that bounce figured out. Who would have ever thought it would have been the clutch.

Same here. I never would have thought the clutch would be the cause.
