that scares me, just sucked it in? clamped on and everything?

My friend ZR-1 sucked in his air duct and clamp while at the drag strip. It happen on his last run when he missed a shift. He started driving home when realized something was wrong, because his engine wouldn't rev up (he thought his ZR-1 full power key was off or was having problems.) The duct and clamp were major wedged into his throttle body (and obviously ruined). He intailly thought that he had lost the clamp, but it was in there.

Well the material gets softer when its warm under driving conditions. I got no air filter cause im fabricating a box to get some cold air.
So that 90deg elbow became 150 deg and blocked the incoming air .Happent 3-4 times before i reallize whats going on, it seemed like a rev limiter.
I dont think that the turbo has some problems now cause it has a 360 deg thrust....ill have to take it a look though.
