Yep.. That's disc engagement and it's totally normal for such an aggressive set up. You must be making a whole lit of power to need that arrangement.

Race clutch set ups have some negative aspects, this is one of them.

Thanks Jake, yeah theres a lot of negatives with this setup. Take off is a pain, you need to rev it high then slowly disengage the clutch or else it will be a bumpy take off.

If I had to do it again, I wouldnt. Good thing I drive this very rarely.

I guess that makes me feel a little better that you had the same issues. I always thought something was wrong. I hate the side effects of this setup.
