Once. But...

I was at the racetrack and the clutch, flywheel, and throw out bearing all blew to bits when I down shifted going into Turn 3 at AutoClub Speedway where you brake from 110 to about 45 for a hard left. I pushed in the clutch, downshifted, blipped the throttle, let out the clutch and .... nothing. The clutch pedal stayed stuck on the floor with the trans in neutral.

126K miles and 70+ track days and this was the only time I had to get a tow. Not bad. Not bad at all.
