Are you sure it was clutch and not brakes you are smelling?

Fun, but not so fun I am hooked yet.  The weather really put a dampner on
things.  Did not get to meet many people since those that were not working
were hiding in their cars with heaters on, myself included.  There are a lot
of other things I could complain about the event but I bet the rain caused
most of them.  Next weekend is supposed to be nicer and I will give it a go
again.

My concern is that other then lap 1, I did not shift or touch the clutch but
could still smell burning clutch after the race.  When I was getting on the
gas coming out of corners the clutch must have slipped some is my only
thought.  I will wait and see if it does it after the next race.

The 89s do not have ABS, does that change your advice?
