The HP Holeshot Series
Clutches continue to add value above and beyond race wins.
Now in addition to having the clutch with the most
tunability and consistency on the market today, you also
have the option to mix and match parts to customize the
clutches how you would like. From our standard Black Widow
clutch which is completely blacked-out, to the newest
Polished Holeshot Series clutch, you can create any
combination you would like.
All these new options
look great on hotrods. If you are the type who wants
everything custom on your car, the HP Polished Holeshot
Clutch is perfect for you. Its polished finish allows you a
clean slate to anodize it any color you would like. If
completely custom isn't your style, then we can alternate
parts to give you the custom look without you having to do
the work. Even if you want to go the completely Blacked-Out
route we have you covered! Our Black Widow is the perfect
option for anybody looking for that sleek low profile look.
The Holeshot
Series Clutch is the best clutch available today for Jr.
Dragster Racing. Innovations on both ends of the clutch put
the Holeshot Series in a league of its own. To better
explain all the improvements of the Holeshot Series
Clutch we will break down each end of the clutch.
Driver Unit (Front Half)
The
Driver Unit is the brain trust of the clutch. Not only have
we given you a large amount of tunability with our Driver,
but we have also made it bullet proof.
The first improvement
we addressed was the HP Long Post Kit. For years clutch posts were made to only engage in the front cover
about 3/16".This allowed the clutch cover to wear
quicker from less engagement. We have eliminated this issue
with our HP Long Post Kit. We have extended the overall
length of our clutch post for double the engagement. This improvement significantly improves the life of your
post and clutch cover.
Next we
addressed how to keep the clutch contained in the event that
your clutch bolt came loose. We invented the Cover-Lock
System. As in true Huddleston Performance fashion we create a
piece which was not only strong enough for the job, but
compact and well designed. Our Cover Lock System is made of
steel, is 9/16" fine thread
on the business end, and takes a normal 9/16 wrench to
loosen and tighten. This small piece has the potential to
save you hundreds of dollars over the course of your Jr.
career.
The next
area of improvement was in the Spider, Drive-Hub, and Clutch
Arms. We went to a One-Piece Spider design and created a new
drive-hub design to allow for longer life. The One-Piece
Spider is lighter than the traditional two-piece design, and
comes with directional slots machined in it to create a
vacuum inside the clutch. This helps to pull belt dust away
from the clutch bushing and improve consistency. Rather than
having to clean your clutch weekly like many clutches, ours
only needs to be cleaned approximately every 75 passes. A
standard Drive-Hub in today's Jr. Dragster clutch is 1/2" of
functional area, we increased that to 5/8" in the Gold
Series Clutches. This allows for improved wear over the life
of the clutch, which means the same consistency for a longer
period of time. Next, we have designed the lightest
business end clutch arms in the industry, while still
maintaining exceptional strength. The light arm makes them a
great choice for any form of Jr. racing from 12.90 to
Outlaw, as it gives you a larger window of clutch weight
adjustment over other arms. However, the bridging between
the 2 sides of the arm gives it the right amount of strength
to prevent bending
under loads.
The
final area of improvement was in the clutch cover itself.
Past designs have allowed the cover to flex out of shape at
high rpm's. The Huddleston Performance One-Piece Cover cuts
this flex down by nearly 70%. In addition to cutting flex
down in the cover itself, the HP One-Piece Cover weighs less
than 2/3 of the standard two-piece style covers on the
market today. Lightening holes help to work with the Spider
Slots to remove belt dust from the Driver Unit.
Driven Unit (Back Half)
Although
many companies won't make certain claims, here at Huddleston
Performance we will make one claim for sure. The Gold Series
Holeshot Driven unit is indestructible when installed
correctly. For years Driven units have had problems breaking
sheaves, posts, and tower pins, those days are over with the
Gold Series Clutch.
We
started with the biggest issue facing Driven units, the
breakage of rear posts. On the helix side our HP Rear Post
is the same as many, allowing for various brands of helixes to
be run. However, on the other end we have stepped our post
up to a massive 1 3/4". (Industry standard is 1 1/2") This
increase virtually eliminates Driven Post breakage. To
finish it off, we had the post red anodized to ensure a long
wear life.
Second,
we addressed the problem of clutch sheaves breaking or
bending. We have thickened the Gold Series Sheaves, and
given them a nice flowing shape. This means you won't have
to worry with replacing sheaves due to bending or breakage after a few
seasons of racing. We have also gold anodized these sheaves
to make sure you get many seasons of use out of them without
belt wear. After many seasons of searching for the right
material, we came up with the HP White Bushing to put into
our clutch sheaves and helixes. It is the most dimensionally
stable and longest lasting bushing available for Driven
Units today.
Finally
we created Steel Tower Pins to keep you from striping out or
bending the Aluminum style pins. These Steel Tower Pins are
made of a hard steel and tapped deep to allow you to run a
longer bolt. They are finished off with a black oxide
finish.
The last
improvement to the Gold Series Driven Unit was the
introduction of Multi-Angle Helixes. These new tuning
devices give you the option to tune your car at specific
points on the racetrack. If you want to lighten the load
early in the run, you can change to a helix that is less
aggressive on the first angle. If you would like to increase
the load down track, you can change to a helix that is more
aggressive on the final angle. This allows you to get all
the performance out of your Huddleston Performance Gold
Series Holeshot Clutch.
We hope
that you will choose the Gold Series Clutch when making your
next clutch choice. Whether you are going 12.90 racing, such
as Isaac Evans who went to 6 final rounds in his first
season with a Gold Series Clutch. Or you are going Outlaw
racing, like Raquel Roper the winner of the 2009 WWC 330
Championship and WWC 330 Record Holder at a 4.24. The Gold
Series Holeshot Clutch can help put you and your team in the
winners circle.
