Message	the holy s*** out of it in a parking lot. I have multiple people that drag race on the material and have never melted it DRK93tt (full face) The 6 puck does not stick or weld as it has enough areas/gaps for cooling. Jason300zxTT (6 puck Feramic) [ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fPQg96HPCZU ] Boostd3 (6 puck rigid feramic) He has ran this same clutch for years with many, many sub 11 sec runs on it. [ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0-s4-Cni09s ] [ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=thRHnaSwFMA&feature=channel&list=UL ] It takes A LOT of heat to melt the full face feramic to the flywheel at very high RPM (over7k) I am not saying it's not possible to stick because it can be done, Just that it's not as easy as being said. I raced on it (full face feramic testing it) for a long time and finally stuck one with a rev limiter launch on slicks, Unstuck it and drove it for a long time afterwards.
