MattR has like 30,000 *race* miles on his car and the stock clutch is still serviceable. He keeps planning on replacing it, but it's still good enough to put off for another season year after year.

Crazy, especially given the numerous "drag start" autocross courses we've been seeing more of in the past couple years.

Haha, yeah, I can't kill it...This may be the year.

Cody's right though, the RFR uphill drag start last year smoked my clutch bigtime...
