Walt Breithaupt had a unusual problem at the Pontiac National with his 40 "120", the clutch actuating rod actually fell out of the car on the road during a tour and it wasn't until the next time he needed the clutch that he realized it - thus it was lost somewhere on the road. He had an interesting ride back, killing the ignition to stop and starting in gear when it was time to get going again. And changing gears without a clutch is a skill not easily acquired, least of all when you have to do it and haven't had the chance to practice. Luckily Joel Ray saved the day for him with a new part after he got back to the parking lot.
