What was the problem? Dragging brakes would just hold both the speed and the engine revs down. Slippy clutch would bring the revs up.But 3000rpm at 60mphdoesn't sound unusual.

If you have a brake that is dragging to the point where you get performance indications, it will not be long before you get heat buildup, then warping, then FIRE. Friction causes lots of heat.
