The poseurs with their new 1/2 million dollar car that don't know jack about driving and the magazine-racers who've never driven one are the only people who cry about the clutch.
On a different note, you guys see his face in the interview after the spin at Talladega. He was definately shooken up, but like a true comedian, he mustered a sarcastic remark in there

Saw that elsewhere this morning.
Only thing I disagree with is his statement: 'you let the clutch out, no gas, then nail it' I can't think of many circumstances where you could do this. 'Carefully feed in throttle to avoid lighting up the rears', perhaps, but 'nailing it' - not very likely!

I'm guessing this is a known fact, but I'm unaware and was wondering if someone could enlighten me:
Why does Jay wear the same jeans and same denim button down when he is not wearing a suit?

they are bbs wheels, i believe they are 17 or 18" on cup tires
as far as the clutch on that car, its not that its hard to operate, it just doesnt work like a traditional clutch
if you ride it, it will stall... just get off of it, and apply gas when youre off the clutch

Every time I see an interview or something with Jay I become more and more impressed with him. He's so down-to-earth. Never any attitude from him. I've watched the videos of him working on his own cars. And I don't mean standing there directing. He's usually elbow deep and just as dirty as anyone in the shop.
Very cool, no doubt.
