2014 Seattle SCCA Majors crash during qualifying.
Переглядів 17 тис.10 років тому
Skip ahead to 3:50 to just view the crash - Jim. 5 cars down the hill into turn 3 at Seattle's Pacific Raceway during Saturday Qualifying. First two tangle and I get caught in the mess. Biggest crash of my life. The strength of the chassis after we converted it to tube frame probably protected me from a major injury. Thanks to my mechanic Dan Watt and Rod Nielsen of Hot Rod's Restos for buildin...

Jim Hargrove in his GT3 Honda Civic at the 2012 SCCA Runoffs. Lack of HP very apparent. 3rd into Turn 1, 6th into Turn 5. Saw no-one, passed no-one, but still finished 4th, 30 seconds behind at the flag. Working hard to improve for 2013. Edited out the boring stuff in the middle. Note the hassle lapping the 1st gen RX7 - he obviously thought we were racing!

Flag to Flag in car video of thrilling GTL race from pre-grid to the podium. A mistake at the very end of lap 12 costs me a shot at the win, but I still cross the line only 0.5 seconds behind in 3rd place - on the podium! 2nd try. First upload missing video of last 2 laps.

Jim Hargrove qualifying at an unofficial (didn't happen during a race) track record 1:42.695 on the East Track at Miller Motorsports Park on August 5th, 2012. Shifting a little off because no-lift shift not working. Also GPS didn't recognize track, so no track map or lap time.

Started 17th after missing dry qualifying on Saturday. Drove to 1st in only 4 laps on a wet Pacific Raceway. The Goodyear rain tires were amazing - 1.3g in Turn 3 in the wet. Note the warning lights on the right of the dash. Battery didn't have enough charge for the whole race, and went dead with 2 laps to go after we had lapped almost the entire fied!

    To some exent, though I think your opponent did better with the traffic by being a bit more patient. I noticed that you started working the traffic better after he got a ways a head. But when you guys tried to battle each other while also battling traffic, you ended up dropping way back...

    Chris Doodson in the Honda ahead was avoiding the spinning 510 of Troy Ermish who was avoiding Lans Stout. Just like the camera, I couldn't see it either. First clue something was wrong was the tire smoke from Chris' car. I braked as hard as I could and headed for the open lane, but it wasn't open when I got there. The rest was hang on and wait for the noise to stop. We lost the fiberglass nose, but the rest of the body is OK. The rad is damaged and will need to be replaced, all four corners need to be replaced as well as the front and rear bumper bars, but the chassis appears to be completely undamaged. The skid bars under the oilpan did their job as well, so there doesn't appear to be any engine or gearbox damage. If it was still a tub car, there would have been nothing left.

    Why don't you have a k20? I assume the air restrictor will be bigger and the car should weight less

    The rear end is a Winters Mini V8 Quick Change. SCCA has too much of a weight penalty for IRS to consider going that route.

  • @jsharg

    @AccAkut1987 The K24 powers the rear wheels. We use a 5 speed sequential gearbox from Tractive in Sweden.

  • @AccAkut1987
    @AccAkut1987 13 років тому

    does the K24 still power the front wheels? If not, which transmission does it use?

  • @jsharg
    @jsharg 14 років тому

    @AutoXcivic The transmission is a sequential 5 speed from Tractive in Sweden tractive(dot)se. There is a 1/2" thick piece of aluminum that bolts to the tube frame chassis and the engine bolts to one side of it, and the Tilton Silver Crown bell housing bolts to the other. The trans is connected to the bell housing by a tunnel that allows room for the Tilton Starter.

  • @AutoXcivic
    @AutoXcivic 14 років тому

    does that transmission bolt up to the stock mounts and what kind of transmission is it

  • @jsharg

    It's a lot easier to hear on the video than it was in the car. Anyway, once I lifted in the bus stop, the outcome was already determined.
