First day at track with car

While I've been to track numerous times to work with customers and their cars, Friday was my first day with my car.

Went to Milan Dragway for a quick test session before the big UMTR race on Saturday in Ohio. Weather was decent and got in 3 passes. First pass was a shake down pass and car moved around quite bit~ think that was the driver more than the car though. Clutch seem pretty soft also. Made a quick clutch adjustment and back to the staging lanes. Second pass went fine nice and straight, clutch still seem soft...but just happened to blow out the back window. Didn't even notice it until I got back to my trailer, got out the car and noticed the missing window. Apparently the track officials didn't notice the window blowing out either as my good friend Steve ran it over on his pass ensuring its complete destruction. No big deal. The clutch never really came around on the third pass but decided I would check it out in Ohio the next morning.
