2024 SCCA Cat Majors at Road America. Group 4 Sunday race. Started 2nd in STL, then was forced off track to avoid a collision and fell to 7th. I then put my head down and did what I could to climb back up the order.
Opening Lap Duel at Gingerman Raceway
Переглядів 842 місяці тому
The opening 2 laps of the Sunday Group 4 race from the 2024 SCCA Bert Sprints Majors at Gingerman Raceway. Started on pole in the STL class, 3rd overall. I learned from the Saturday race that I was quicker overall than the Z ahead of me despite him having the legs on the straights. Therefore, my gameplan was to get a jump on him at the start to try and build a gap to the other cars in my class ...

June Sprints Pole Lap in a Downpour!

Ride along as I secure my first ever pole position on a very wet Road America for the 2024 SCCA June Sprints. Heavy traffic and limited track time (from incidents) was expected, so I knew there was only a small window of opportunity. Not the cleanest lap, but got the job done.

Ghost's First Laps

Finally got to shake down my new build for 2024, "Ghost". This is a 2007 Honda Civic Si that I purchased back in September and have been converting it over the winter to the same ruleset as the Acura. I decided last minute to run it in the SCCA divisional at Blackhawk Farms. In just my first session, I matched my times in the old car from last year. I was also on old tires, used brake pads, and...

CATASTROPHIC BRAKE FAILURE: Road America, Turn 5
Переглядів 16 тис.Рік тому
After transmission and electrical problems plagued my Thursday, Friday, and Saturday sessions, I started 6th in class with next to no decent laps. Managed to work my way through the field and had my sights set on a podium finish up until brake failure reared its ugly head. Despite the tough weekend, I was happy with what I could extract from the car with the little track time I had. With more s...

INTENSE Battle: Blackhawk Farms SCCA Majors STL 4/29/23
Переглядів 478Рік тому
Caleb Patrie's Saturday race from the SCCA Majors at Blackhawk Farms. Went back and forth for the STL pole in qualifying but missed out on it by 0.4 seconds. However, three cars of a different class (T3) would separate me and the STL pole sitter. Needless to say it made for an entertaining first few laps. A braking problem on my right rear caused a flatspot and ended up ripping the tire apart w...

Rain Race On A Slick?!? Blackhawk Farms SCCA STL 4/16/23
Переглядів 217Рік тому
My first day racing in the rain was not ideal. A blown rain tire on the right front 1 lap into qualifying meant I had no good times and no practice. What made it worse was I could not source a spare rain tire, so I was forced to replace it with a slick (right rear). Watch as I try to make my way forward while trying to stay on track and avoid other spinning cars.

SCCA Divisional Race at Blackhawk, April 2023 This was my second weekend in the car. I ran 3-year old take-off tires in an effort to cut costs. The only downside was the car had a large amount of understeer. Still a blast to drive!

The pedal didn't get soft or be long?
A good driver would have never been put in that position
Backrooms
Keep it up. I'm subscribing.
That was an interesting line into 14 by the CRX.
Great job clipping the tires to scrub speed... I hope you continue to race.
When I was a youngster, I ran FV in the Northeast. The New York Region was doing a weekend at the old Bridgehampton. My partner and I went down from Massachusetts. In those days, the front straight ended with a long, downhill sweeper. Word around the paddock was, that the Vs were doing the downhill flat. Being 22, I went out and held flat for the downhill. I was going as fast as the car would go at the end of the straight. It went round and round and round. … and up over a berm and into the woods. It didn’t flip but I was quite a ways from the track by the time it stopped. What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.
Caleb you’re out there driving for both of us. Fantastic race. I also had a pucker moment watching that guy park it in Canada on the penultimate lap 😂
subbed! love 8th gen racing
Great heads up driving when the SMX didn't accelerate coming out of Canada Corner, and great driving this weekend!
Thank you! I like to think I pulled more than my weight
Love it dude, wheelman out there in the rain! Was that mixed class qualifying? -Griffin
Yessir, a total of 60 cars split amongst 3 classes were all out there at once. I ended up 5th overall in the group with that lap.
@@Patrieracing that is absolute chaos and I love it. Sweet onboard 🤙
A rainy day at RA is still a day to play. You make it look graceful. Well done
Just came back from the track and was telling my group when we watched it happen live. We were right there. Amazing you walked away. So glad you were safe.
Thank you! I was out there thos weekend in the white 8th gen Civic Si
It's good practice to tap the brake pedal with your left foot about halfway down the straight. Just to make sure you have a pedal. Doing this also takes up any space between the pads and the rotor which might have resulted from component flexing during the last corner. It's nice to have a firm pedal when you reach the brake point.
I developed that habit, but didn't matter in this case since they failed after i had applied them
you know 10 years ago you went to the Backrooms right?
wow cool dude

Ghost race thriller
Poorly prepared means a bad day, can't expect much of japanese cars
Hi Patrieracing, What a crash! Hopefully you are okay. I would like to ask if it's possible to use this video for a "Motorsport crash compilation 2023". Obviously I will add you channel name on the video and with link in description. Let me know if it's okay for you ;)
Thanks for reaching out! All is well with me and I have a new build slated to hit the track in a few months. You have my blessing to use this clip.
Morbidly curious because I've never been on that particular track... did you get a "confidence tap" on the brakes before you hit the braking zone? Not that any "notice" would have helped... you were hauling ass. Didn't know if a 5/4/3 downshift might have helped lessen the blow.
I got in the habit earlier in the year to tap the brakes well before entering hard brake zones. This instance was no different. The pedal quit working about a second after I started braking.
Ugh. What was the ultimate cause of brake failure? Broken line, caliper pin, exploded rotor? @@Patrieracing
@@MrRGBTV The LF brakeline somehow got pulled out of the mounting bracket on the knuckle. There was a bunch of slack in the line, which caused it to rub on the brake rotor and rupture
Yep, that'll do it. @@Patrieracing
Oh my word!!! Now that all you guys are out there it hits closer to home for me! Y’all are like family! I had no idea that was you that day 😮 I just know when I’m at gate 4 and hear of a crash/hit/roll on Motorplex/4mi track I immediately pray!! I’m so glad you weren’t injured worse. It was just so intense watching the entire video!
wow..glad you came out of that ok!
Glad your ok you had a well built car to take that hit,
Glad that you're OK, and that you live to race another day! I have watched several video's of the Mazda's racing, which has always been a good race to watch. If I had known about this this group and how safe everyone is around one anther, then I likely would have started racing with a roof over my head. If I did have a roof, then I'd likely still be racing, and switching which class I ran to get a Mazda!
So, a question: was there any rear brake at all? It sounds like no, but surely there should have? That said, given the circumstances, I don't suppose the rear brakes would do much anyway. Many thanks
The system as a whole failed because of a problem with the front brake line. Even if the brakes were somewhat engaged I would have slowed down a lot more
Holy crap! Glad you are OK.
yoooo what’s up Jett (aka Jeebn)
What a video I’m glad I had my cameo
What a masterpiece
I think I'd have done the same as you. Hitting the tyre wall head on never seems like a sensible option when you're in the heat of the moment. Tracks should have something designated for brake failure for you to aim at really especially at the end of a long straight where the speeds are so high. Motorsport can do better
You are a legit BA dude for keeping your composure well enough to think out your strategy for survival that quickly. Super glad you're okay, man! Wow. Scary stuff. Now that it's been a month or so, do you know if you'll build another using some of your old parts? Anything salvageable?
I plan to salvage what I can, mainly the engine and shocks. Since it doesn't roll well it will be pretty difficult to get a lot out of it. May be a total loss unless someone wants it for parts
That tow truck off the outside of the corner in the wet is sketchy. I understand full course cautions disrupt the flow of the race, but a hot tow in those conditions probably isn't the best idea, even with a waving yellow flag.
Between June Sprints and WIC this past weekend, I've seen more crazy wrecks than in the past couple of years. Glad you're ok. Tires and fence did there job.
Holy shitballs. That was one heck of a crash. Very happy to hear that youre okay
Yikes!! Glad you got out of that in one piece!
Tough break buddy...so sorry..hope you heal up and get back on the horse
Damn dude. Glad you still have a smile on your face!!
We caught part of that on video too
Any chance you could send it my way?
Can you send them over this without posting or?
@@evantownsend9535 Try emailing it: Patriecaleb@gmail.com
Scary af. Looks like you did the right thing by just winging both tire barriers to bleed off some speed before the big hit. I'm going to have to include scoping out the track for catastrophic failure evasive action now.
glad you were able to walk away, heck of a crash
Oh what a hit! 😨 You made the best decisions you could with an imminent crash ahead. Glad you're ok!
11:30 you’re welcome 😊
Glad your alright!
What's the ball park number of hours you spend to prepare a car in that series over the course of a year? Assuming 4-6 races a year.
It depends on the car and if/what issues are present. If I am not addressing an issue I usually spend a few hours before each race checking all the suspension, engine bay, gear, and any other nut or bolt i can think of
Good to see you are ok.
