- Watch till the end!
Special thanks to Chuck Mathis and Ken Kannard for sharing their video, which I used at the end of this one to show a couple of angles on the incident!
It was a wet and wild June Sprints! With not much track time in the wet, I guessed on a setup for Saturday, and it worked. Sunday was back to the dry setup, and that was a known one, but I was on stickers. I didn't think about it much at the time, but I was glad I had the extra rubber because the 180-plus recovery was remarkable, but it left me with a flat spot on the right front tire that I carried around the rest of the race to take the win in H Production @Road_America and the June Sprints.
Fully agree racing incident.
Amazing save dude!
Thats wild what those wheels did.
Moser hit a tow truck under a FCY, and that he almost caused another wreck Friday practice when he tried to pass me in the Kink under a local yellow and nearly plowed a parked vehicle then as well.
I saw your spin going into T3 from Chris’ video - well done! I looped it in the Kink on Saturday and miraculously managed to not hit anything,
Cendiv stewards busted Jon and I a year or two ago for "passing the pace car in pit road" before S/F that was going ~35mph. Our cars barely make the hill burping on the cam at that speed. Apparently even after the pace car exits, you are to stay behind them. We definitely could have rolled up with 10mph more speed.
Using that same logic, you could be under a full course yellow, and a car exits the track to pit lane, passing that car would be under yellow…. Right or wrong, it was a slooooow start.
@@jpm Right!? I always thought the pole car assumes control of the field once the pace car peels away. I think start sensitivity at RA is heightened post Vintage wad up and ever since they started cracking down on the WOT from T14 SM starts.
Jesse, I’ve had a similar sideways slide in a FWD car many moons ago, where the spin rotation is well past 180 and I was seeing traffic following. My save was full lock and WOT and fast enough hands to unwind the wheel preventing a tank slapped. Mine happened in the 3rd gear high speed turn 3 at SLIR, the whole shebang was seriously fast. I’d be curious to review your data traces to see what you did to save it instinctively. Whatever it was save it in a bottle!
@@timschreyer4992 The slow starts create other problems though. The SRF guys had a crash up the front straight away before the green because the back of the pack closed up on the leaders crawling along up the hill.
Congratulations on the double wins. I have those "Ben-hur" wheels, don't really like the design but the price was right for a lighter wheel.
Jesse is now an honorary B spec driver!!
Thanks for the excellent report on your June Sprints weekend. I saw both of your races. Saturday almost seemed more survival than racing for many racers. The live coverage could have been better as the reporters and camera crew didn't match often, so some good racing was missed. Congratulations to you and those JPM supports.
The only other person I've seen pull that move off was Don Knowles in Saab.
It all just kinda happened!
The rain Saturday night was crazy and with the ground already being saturated, it had no where to go. An FV trailer outside T3 took on water inside, a lake was formed. Luckily they got the race car out ahead of time and had the trailer towed out Sunday afternoon.
The stands under the HP car... did you make those?
Jesse: from a less experience driver although a good observer … racing incident for sure … I think you came over just a tiny bit to the right
