First day of the season - correction first session of the season and after about 8 hard laps I pulled into the hot pit and heard this horrible screach when on the clutch. Talked to Phil at BEO (he built the car last year for me) and he's thinking (from the description, don't think he's seen this video) that it's the throw out bearing (others at the track thought the same)

I considered just driving it until it broke but figured I'm 40 now so I should be, uh, smarter (if you can be smart about this stuff!) so I stopped which was a bummer as I was going to be there 3 days (was instructing so I stayed through to Sunday evening).
So what do you guys think, agree/disagree? Either way I'm going to take her back to Phil as soon as I can work out that schedule so we'll see if I just bought a new transmission too (hello sequential if so).
