Stanley Jones changing a clutch in his 32 Ford V8 Roadster beside the road 1 hour east of San Diego CA. on the 1990 Great American Race. A Certified Ford V8 guy from Woodland Hills CA., drove the car to NYC to race 4100 miles back to Disneyland. He did about 15 races with this car as Driver/Mechanic/Navigator, no pit crew. This clutch job took less than one hour and the Japanese TV crew was amazed. I was stopped across the road adding water after cracking a head, which we waited until Disneyland to fix. This is what it took to finish some years, but was normal for those early Great Races. 1934 Ford's since 1972

Quite a feat and only could be accomplished in that amount of time if the original center cross member had been replaced with something that would permit the transmission to be moved rearward. The original center cross member is a dead end and you have to pull the engine to replace the clutch.
