Gold Cup Clutches

[jasonmorris1809]

What clutch do people run in the Gold Cup? Gold cup rule 708.24 say a three shoe/spring is required whereas Briggs Rules allow a max of 9spring/6 shoe. Thanks!

WKA Gold Cup changed the rules to the same as Briggs rules. Click here for the update. We run either a stinger or a Hilliard Flame.

I track tested my Hillard flame this weekend in Ocala Florida and all I can say is wow I can't wait to start the fine tuning of this clutch.

tyreguy, I tuned ours for the first time this weekend, made a big difference. Also found that I had it running backwards, so switching the shoes around might have been the difference. Regardless, the difference was there!

what do you mean running backwards??

Shoes can be installed leading or trailing, tuning for your purpose.

is this only on the flame clutch ? I have the fury

 

[01ron]

Fury does not make a difference. Both sides of the shoe are the same size.

O1ron was going to pick uo new flame clutch for Ocala which color springs did you start with ? was the fat part of shoes leading or trailing ? thx for info

 

[01ron]

Two black and two white. Fat part leading.

The shoes have to be set for the direction you are mounting the clutch. Gear in or out. I think most run them inboard. Your instructions should show you how to set them..
