nostalgia racer 1955 chevrolet stick shift

It's probably a good thing the disc is failing otherwise as Ed pointed out the trans or rear end would be hurt. Tim Hyatts son has taken over Hyatt racing clutches since Tim passed away. He would be another place to contact. Whatever you do avoid the mail order places for a performance clutch as it will be a 2000+ pressure plate and a drivetrain killer. A Long style adjustable with lower base and the right disc is what is needed. It does not need to be the latest wiz bang clutch.

Weedburner was right it ripped the organic material off the face of the clutch disk. He is debating on going with a long style adjustable clutch or using a clutch tamer.
Thanks to all who responded. Said it sure was fun for almost 2 runs.
