Cool video. Were you feathering the clutch or just dumping it? Either way, good RPM, haha.

Thanks for the vid.

feathering, there's is a happy median in the stock clutch that if you pull out almost half way you'll hook, and once your RPMS start coming back up then you dump, but use your clutch (i didnt on that run)

Just to make it completely clear type it all out in words please (ex: engage 1st gear w/foot on clutch, rev to 2k rpm,feather the clutch/releaseit slowly 1/2 way out,etc.) Thanks
