Default Clutch disc troubles

Friday night I took my 94 zf6 down to the local drag strip and had a little fun. Well on my last run for the night I was shifting from 3rd to 4th at about 5200 and it didnt feel right. Then the car wouldnt accelerate and the most go awful noise you can imagine was coming out from under my car. So I put her in neutral and coasted off the track. I left it idleing (the noise was still there but not near as loud, I knew it wasnt the engine so thats why I left it running). I popped the hood and I could see sparks coming out of the bellhousing ! So, needless to say she got trailered home. I disassembled it all on sunday (I hate c-beam bolts!!!) and found my clutch disc had lost an entire section and nicely placed it into my bellhousing. It had a carolina stage 2 clutch setup put in it 3000 miles ago. . So, I contacted carolina today and they helped me out a bunch and there is currently a new clutch disc in a truck heading my way! I found a brand new bellhousing on ebay for $250 and purchased it. Amazingly enough my flywheel and pressure plate looked fine and are still in good shape. So after a very long weekend I would just like to say thanks the the guys at Carolina Clutch you get an A+ in my book on customer service. Hopefully she is back together before I go back to school

P.S. If anyone knows how to weld magnesium I have a bellhousing!

The car is completely stock with no mods and I believe it was 10126448
