Have you been to his museum ? He has the parts they found of the clutch in a display case. It was the new Lenco 2 speed that failed and allowed the engine to over rev, exceeding the limits of the clutch.
This event is what spurred Don, and others , to pursue moving the drivers forward of the drivetrain. It also eliminated them getting burned from a blower explosion, which Don also suffered early in his career, when he first started using nitro.
