About clutches again....

All aluminum?
All Teflon?
or
Two aluminum and one Teflon shoe?

Can someone explain what the performance differences is between those three?

Thanks.
Not sure why you are glad about the so called ruling, your Picco P9 .21 will be ILLEGAL.

I am sure you know this but imo Clutch questions will never end, Power, heat, traction & the bionic finger all have a lot to do with how they grab and wear in any given situation so I would just look to see what the “fast guys” are running and adapt. They all work; I run 3 shoe Alum some times 1 carbon. Sorry I did not answer your clutch question as you asked maybe someone else can answer better.

Still AMAZED we had a committee and CLEARLY Voted OPEN Engines and the ruling that has come down is open off road engines only? I without any doubt saw this class getting it in the azz I just didn’t expect this much vasoline.

THE ENGINE RULE IS BS.
