they sell that same clutch at northern tool and tractor supply. I had one on the racing kart and it was gone in no time.

What kind of machine are you running it on? What is the rear tire size and what is the rear sprocket size?

He cracks himself up.

Ghost, considering the clutch sprocket is typically 10 tooth, as long as you have racing slicks (like 6"), you shouldn't have too much of a load on it. If it does keep burning them up, you are likely going to have to step up to a racing clutch that uses actual disks. They are made to take a bit more abuse.
