do u find that when the car is first started the clutch engages pretty late but as the engine warms up it settles down to where u set it ?

It is the heating of the clutch itself that makes the clutch getting a bit more grippy after half a minute or so and after this it stays where it is.

There are coming new shoes out. I saw at the nationals last weekend already new elcon clutches at the race and the cars using them did show quite a step forward in traction.
Engagement for the new shoes are obviously at a much higher point. They used different type of material as well, white.
They fit the standard clutch, saw people changing the shoes and they were happy when I asked them after the performance.
Seems another step forward again.
