620HP and no scatter shield, they were lucky it was clutch and not the fly wheel that blew.

That has Darwin Award written all over it. Luckily no one was hurt so they may avoid the nomination.

I've heard and seen the aftermath of clutch explosions before but never the actual event. He is lucky not to have lost a foot.

Two words.

SCATTER

SHIELD

if your going to build up the motor to make that kind of power, its obvious its not trying to be your daily driver ! Spend the extra cash and get the correct safety parts. Sh*t happens, and that is a perfect example. Glad nobody was hurt. That piece that cut through stone could have easily been someone legs......
