help! i think i broke it[NG/NF ign. rough running]

[JShadzi at aol.com]

If you do it right the burning smell isn't too bad, buy you are slipping the clutch.  Well, lets put it this way, I did about 15 consecutive runs like this in about 2 hours.  Granted, hard launches and drag racing aren't exactly good for any clutch, so you need to take that into account.
