Clutch (clutch bearing lube advise)

[doug tenney]

I recall overhearing a couple of old timers reminiscing about the days before oil-filled clutches.  As the story goes, a bunch of them had attached squirt cans to their karts, and they'd give their clutches a spritz each time coming out of the hairpin.  Apparently it worked, and soon everyone was doing it.  Of course, oil got all over everyone and everything, including the track.  Shortly thereafter, the squirt cans were outlawed.

Truth or urban legend?  Mr. Wlodarsky, is that how it went down?
