ilikerice · 09-23-2012, 10:13 AM

good race, was really hoping you would catch up and at least fight for 4th. great racing though.

Jason@SportsCar · 09-25-2012, 12:23 PM

What an exhausting week, I still feel loopy from a lack of sleep/jet-lag. We had a great time, and we are very happy with the cars, went from running 2:48 laps in 2011, to being able to run a 2:43 on my own and a 2:42 in the draft, the engine work, close-ratio trans and radial slicks really found us some speed. Now we just need to find a little more top end to keep up with the leaders - once the draft was gone there was zero chance of catching them on my own.

For Jamie's first time at the track he did excellent, by the end of qualifying he was running a 2:46. Unfortunately Jamie got caught up in an unavoidable situation, and it appears as thought the 2012 is a complete write-off.

Will post more later.

Here is a clip from the Fiat that hit Jamie on Lap 1 down in turn 5 (I think the only strait panel on the car is the roof): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eDdSp...ature=youtu.be

Do you know if Toyota is going to be providing another car?

In the video it looks like the guy in the X1/9 wouldn't give up the corner he lost.

To early to predict Toyota's plans for next year. I do know Jamie wants to get back out there.

With the cold temps, I believe it was below 40 when we took the green, a lot of people had trouble getting enough heat in their tires for the first lap. The Fiat driver locked up the brakes in Turn 3, then again in Turn 5 when he made contact with Jamie.

Here is the right side damage (from the passengers door back) from the Fiat hit, the front is from hitting the Triumph that spun in front of him at Turn 8:

More Triumph damage:

After the restart Pitt's in the VW turned in a bit early at Turn 3:

For those that did not catch the live broadcast, here is a copy of that feed, H Prod is the first race. High res videos of the individual races should be out in the next few weeks.

There is also the possibility that there was some fluid down going into Turn 5. A few rows back from Jamie and the Fiat a Datsun 510 has the same twitch under braking that the Fiat appeared to have - this could have been something on the surface from the AM hardship session right before our race, or he could have slipped on something left from the Yaris/Fiat contact. The results were ugly.

Glad to see everyone walked away from that accident to bad for the yaris write off though :( sucks even more that Toyota doesn't sell a BIW for these situations.

ilikerice · 09-25-2012, 05:29 PM

I came in too late to see that first incident. keep us updated

Jason@SportsCar · 09-26-2012, 11:58 AM

My in-car video from the Runoffs. Most of the action takes place in the first ten minutes, after that is pretty much clear track ahead. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gFiMk1C8R5M

The moment you know you are screwed (just before impact):

Jason@SportsCar · 09-26-2012, 07:40 PM

Got some great action shots from Toyota Motorsports today.

Speedcast TV has finished up the Runoffs races, and now we can see the complete H Production race in HD: http://speedcasttv.com/#/races/336 including the demise of the 2012 Yaris.

Wheels are 13.4 pounds, 33 pounds even with the tires.

Jason@SportsCar · 10-16-2012, 05:12 PM

Found a few more Runoffs shots online, including one where Jamie nearly got the 2012 on two wheels - love the grip of those Hoosier slicks.
