Default Broken Clutch Rod

I need some advise on the way I have my McCloud Hyd clutch installed. This weekend I went racing and was turning some pretty good times at Mid-America Motorplex outside of Omaha when in one of the strait-a-ways I pushed down on my clutch to up shift and bent my clutch rod. At inspection I found that the rod that attaches to your clutch foot pedal and pushes the piston in the master cylinder (Wilwood) had bent a full 90 degrees. Disabling me on the track (called out the roll back).

My question is,what have I done wrong in the assembly of this hydraulic clutch?

I apear to be aligned horizontially with the master cylinder and clutch pedal. Should I have some kind of stop to limit the travel of my clutch pedal?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Clois Harlan
