In 69 the AHRA Midwest division 5 finals were held in Kansas city Ka. We left the Chicago area Friday morning and got as far as Pontiac Illinois before the clutch went out on our tow vehicle ( 1960 Chevy Nomad wagon - 348 with 3 on the tree ). We disconnected it from the trailer along side the road and limped it in to town to find a parts store. First place we hit had a clutch and pressure plate in stock ( if you could believe that!). Jacked up the wagon, pulled the trans, and changed the clutch on the side of the road. We were back on the road in about a couple of hours. UGH!!!!
