Actually this is more of a warning about being safe and using parts that are up to the task you put them to. Also a good show of why you should run a scattershield for racing.

Wow yeah. I'd like to see the flywheel itself.

Tore the block apart too!

I like my legs.

Part of the flywheel is in the pile of pieces. Ring gear looks pretty stretched!

Hooly shat. Shocked

Looks like whatever was left of the flywheel smashed through a paint cabinet. Lucky there weren't any thinner cans busted open, or that could have gotten even worse.

Wow. Just goes to show that flywheels and harmonic balancers need to be purchased for high output engines. I was on a safety safari crew (no training) at Sacramento Raceway in the late 80's and had to pick up a toe from a guy that lost his flywheel.

Spend the money when in question on the things that keep you save...

Guess I'd better hurry up and put my scattershield in.
