By all means break the clutch in gently for 400 miles of stop and go driving before you hammer the car. I attempted an accelerated break in and it may have contributed to my problems with my Spec clutch and flywheel, although none of us like the way it felt right after installation. It would not be worth racing to muck up the new clutch. The surface of the Spec really wants to get to know the flywheel gently prior to be used in anger. Get the clutch right and wait for an Outlaw meet. All the drivers are pros and they prep the track. Along with starting in the morning it is much more comfortable and less crowded at the Outlaw meet. Plus they are having a late model muscle car event that appears to be tailor made for the Cobras.
I agree with your advice. I have watched folks issues after clutch swaps.
:bash: :bash: :bash: Major frigging internal battle between the supposedly grownup James and that other James that seems to make decisions for me too often. After Adam drove around last night, I took the car out from 9:45 until 11:15 . I plan to drive 4-6 more hours today between meetings, but it is clear that it will not be broken in for C-Bad tomorrow. If I could have driven all day it would, but there are other things to do.
I may just drive it down on street tires, watch and film a bit, and drive it back. Then to Juan's on Sunday and back. Then next week.. :sleeping: :sleeping: :sleeping: :sleeping: :sleeping:

That would be the smart thing...
