In the "old days" we sometimes cheated and locked the rears even when it was not allowed by the rules since it was an advantage at the drag strip.
Well thats 3 people I have talked to and they all said its a normal noise, the only thing that is bothering me is people always think its broken when its not!

When does the clunk happen?

BTW, sounds like fun.

Wasn't dynoed the performance shop doesn't have one but they drove it hard for me and some how they came up with that number from RPMs and Speedo(beforethe speedo broke)

The clunk happens when I get half way through a turn, and now even some times when I'm just driving speed limit and let off the gas(that might be the tranny)

Oh and this thing is fun.
