Years ago my younger brother was racing a '70 Nova at the racetrack in east St.louis area and did a 7000 rpm launch . The flywheel came apart and came up through the firewall and missed his right foot by not even an inch . Then it continued on up through the dash and pushed the rear part of the hood up 10 inchs and stuck there . The piece weighed about three pounds . The rest of it buried itself in other parts of the car and the asphalt track . Obviously the car was trashed and was taken to the junkyard . The motor was destoyed by the overreving after the flywheel came apart . It wasn't fun for him or the track officials . That was before scattershields were made manditory for that class . ...Randy
