"Back in the day" I had the clutch/flywheel blow on my 66 427 Vette while at the drag strip. It was scatter shield equiped and there were large dents in the shield. It looked like a granade went of inside of it.
I have a scatter shield on my FE Cobra. I also have a drive shaft hoop, rev limiter, and always wear the shoulder belts. When on the track I also wear the helmet, nomex, 5 point harness, neck support and arm restaints. As you can see I may have become a bit of a wuss
. At my age (61), I prefer to think of it as getting wiser.
