Anybody hear of this?

Apparently this is what took out the clutch in GT500 up at Quaker City I described in the Drag Racing section...(Hollywood Knights track rental)

Any input on this? Looks like it been a known issue. The guy who owns the GT500 is getting a whole new tranny/clutch/flywheel etc..
