One of the closest calls I've had riding in a car, when we took the Colt out after the dyno a couple of weeks ago, we got done with a 3rd gear pull just as the tranny drops out of the car and the crank bolts break off of the flywheels shooting the clutch and flywheel out the front of the car!

that's was awesome. I don't know if it was a repeat but on pinks last night some guy dropped his tranny too. before it dropped though it went through the floor and hit him in the leg. There were pieces all over the track.

Whoa, awesome and suck-tastic all at once!
The clutch launching out the front of the car reminded me of those guns that shoot out discs...ya know, the ones we played with when we were kids?

haha... I almost had the same problem once, but I was smart enough to get out of the car and realize I was missing 3 pretty important bolts when the clutch started feeling funny.

That would be a really scary experience if it ever happened to me. But I lol'd watching that.
