I ran the Schenley Park GP in Pittsburgh this past weekend - a fantastic
event, racing on city streets- I'll be back.
It is, however, hard on the car, and once again I've found the weak link.
The clutch disc center basically ripped out - the metal around only one of
three rivets was still intact.
So, it's a stock disc and pressure plate, never given trouble before, probably
on its 3rd-4th season.  Should I just replace it, or is there an easily
adaptable upgrade that's stronger?

It's an 8-1/2" disc, 23 spline - the car has a TR4-6 gearbox in it (the GT6
box was the old weak link) and a good aluminum flywheel I got from Ted that
I'd hate to give up on.

What is being used out there - given that I have a TR4-6 box with the
cross-shaft/fork arrangement, I'm guessing whatever you TR4 racers have done
might work too.
