Here's a bit of fun.
Does anyone know if anyone makes a scattershield for an LS1/T56 combo? Clutch broke the bell housing, but didn't come through the tranny tunnel. I'm not sure I'll get so lucky next time.

Wow. What make of clutch?
Best I can do is Sunday Qualifying. My phone didn't record R3, and for R4 my assistant put it facing backwards (great video of my wing and clouds).

You can hear my clutch parts spinning around when it blows during the downshift at the end of turn one on this vid:

Dunno. Remembered going cheap, thinking I was only making stock power levels.Originally Posted by MikeP99Z
I think it's my fault (beyond buying cheap crap). At Hallett, I wasn't getting enough stroke from my master cylinder so I took out the clutch pedal stop. A couple weeks ago, I replaced the master cylinder with a larger bore, and didn't replace the pedal stop. I think I over stressed the clutch. $600 lesson, plus whatever a bell housing will cost. Yes, Mike, I know I need a pedal stop on my throttle, too. It's on my to-do list. (Clutch pedal stop was on my to-do list too)

Wow!! So, if the bellhousing broke, how'd you get back on track?

I just convinced myself that they were cooling/lightening holes, and overlooked all the cracks. I'll fix it before I run it again.
When you drive 550 miles and bust it on the first day, you get abnormally brave/desperate.

Heh, I know what that's all about.
I was excited about NOLA, but not anymore. I don't need another clutch-killer track... yes I'm blaming the track now.
<-- the one I returned for a full refund.

Really? No other videos?
I was hoping to see how close my spin on lap one of R3 was to you guys.
