Figured out what's wrong with the clutch...

Dropped the trans today. When I took the pressure plate off I was greeted with 2 discs. All of the facing material on the PP side of the disc came off, in ONE piece! No wear, no marks, no nothing. Just fell off. All of the rivets are loose.

So yeah, don't use Zoom clutches. I'm stabbing in the Exedy I got from Atkins now.

We're racing Saturday night (PDXCGP has their own lane). Unfortunately I think it's going to rain all weekend.

Also did you notice that Porsche's are 0-for-2 at ORPCA events this year for FTD? It was the SRT4 and your car...
