We were extremely impressed with how well it worked! What the device did was relieve all the effort that was needed to properly slip the clutch. This allowed us to be a lot more consistent and make it through a number of events in one piece. The adjustability in the Device allowed us to adjust the amount of slip needed as conditions changed based on track and weather. This kept us consistent and more focused on driving the race car.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe built in line lock is used only when launching the car.
