Flat changing does require a clutch... drag racers us this technique as generally they dont use anything but full throttle the whole way down the track and use the clutch to limit wheelspin, get the car back straight, etc.
Flat changing can have a tendancy to launch your car into a spin if you do it on an unpreped track. (I think that happened at Wakefield last year in the drags on Saturday yeah?)
I heard a rumor of a certain someone bashing the gears and having abit of a spin when his car came on boost from the lights...
