I love this disc!!! Used to drag with, and can be freshened up by media blasting after a few runs. Almost like new. A little harsh on take off, but locks right up. Less harsh I found if hydralic clutch is used. also check out the Gene Berg dual friction disc.

What is better than one black magic disk?


Two of them...
Apperently kennedy use these to make their double disk set-up.
This is what came in yesterday:

That should work Looking at your pics makes me realize once again what drag racing does to components...

Mark,
257 km/h is sort of crazy in a beetle on the highway/autobahn. I recalculated and that is 251 km/h, which is close enough. Crazy...how does his stay stable for that? He runs less aero then I do, but his car is also less wide, so maybe that helps some to gain the speed. Still, over 250 km/h is wow!

Actually,he has no aerodynamic "helper" whatsoever. A fairly standard suspension up front with Bilstein(?) gas shocks,beam supports and Rememle´s uniball rear suspension with stock steel trailing arms.Maybe he sits a little lower to the ground than you due to the 15" wheels? The car was very stable,felt like we were doing 130-150Km/h.
