Default SMOKED CLUTCH

IT'S OUT AND DONE FOR
THAT'S THE BAD NEWS
THE NEW CLUTCH, PRESSURE PLATE, AND THROW OUT BEARING ARE GOING IN AS I POST THIS.
THAT'S THE GOOD NEWS

WE DON'T KNOW FOR SURE WHAT WENT WRONG AND WHY THE CLUTCH LET GO, BUT THE ENGINE SIDE WAS TOTALY DESTROYED,(JUST DUST) AND THE PRESSURE PLATE SIDE WAS BROKEN AND WAS BURNED ONTO THE FACE. LUCKILY NO DAMAGE TO THE FLYWHEEL OR ANYTHING ELSE. I'LL BE UP AND RUNNING AGAIN TOMORROW. WE ARE INSTALLING A RETURN SPRING ON THE YOKE AND SLAVE UNIT SO THIS SHOULDN'T HAPPEN AGAIN.
I CAN'T WAIT FOR SEBRING!!! THIS MONSTER NEEDS SOME ROOM TO RUN
I NEVER DID GET IT INTO 4TH GEAR AND USED VERY LITTLE OF 3RD. NEXT TIME AT GAINESVILLE, JUST 3RD AND LOTS OF BRAKE. MAYBE, DOWN TO 2ND AT THE HAIRPIN
