Hydraulic Clutch.

(1/1)

1916Racer:
I noticed in a lot of early pictures that I research, 59-61 front engine dragsters, a fair number of them used a hydraulic cylinder to operate the Hilborn injector on their GMC blower. Did anyone ever use a hydraulic clutch setup during this period. Thanks Charles.

dreracecar:
Maybe some obscure dragsters did (never say never) but with the clutch so close to the drive a simple link to a peddle was more common.

ricardo1967:
Don't some circle track use hydraulic actuated throttle?

dreracecar:
Not recommended,  there is no pull back for a sticky throttle

ricardo1967:
Agreed.
