Kieth, do you remember some years ago when the Winston Cup cars were using
new multi-plate clutches?
As I recall, they were having problems breaking drive line parts leaving the 
pits. I think most of these problems were occurring at the super speedways.

Could a very, very positive clutch create unacceptable shock loads due to
the high inertial loads imposed when trying to spin tires/wheels with
a 200+ MPH gear in the rear axle?

Just a crazy thought..??
