yeah saw that sunday at MIR
It’s probably a standard shift dogbox, although Honda trannies are pretty sweet (unless you mis-shift) so this might be possible to do on a stock one if you slam it.
I saw this first hand on sunday… let me tell you the video does NOT do this justice.
The sound it made, and the true speed of the incident are not captured well at all.
I went over to their trailer/booth afterwards and they were doing a leakdown… must not have gone well cuz I saw them just standing by the fence watching the races 10 mins later. Ouch. Luckily it happened to the clutchmasters car, and not one of the other 50 working/racer honda guys there. If anyone can get it back together quick its them.
that’s impressive.
Wow, I wonder if the driver had some whiplash after that?!? Looked like he hit a wall.
thats sucks
Looks like brent strong driving my camaro 
Haha, that’s what I was thinking. I wonder if he broke his nose or something.
I’m sure it wasn’t smooth inside, but not as violent has it looks. Any of the NHRA/NDRA serious FWD cars, have a huge amount front weight bias.
shitty, but fuckin sweet!
LOL goodbye transmission !
x2
That was nuts. If it was a sequential shifter, what the hell was he doing lol
that was awesome.
wierd…
weird thing though is that i really didnt hear any explosion…just a small backfire…did he blow the motor there?
and do the trannies they use require the use of a clutch pedal or is it all just slam the shifter? i dont really know anything about race spec transmissions. reason i ask is because with a clutch, you’d think a race driver would have the reaction time and sensibility to just clutch in immediately after noticing the car slowing down once you start to release the clutch.
i believe they have it setup for clutchless shifting using a strain gauge and g-force shifter
thats crazy saw it on h-t earlier
I dunno if you’ve ever run down a track… esp in a low 9sec car… but no… there is no time.
Yes, the motor was toast. First pass on it too.
Yea i dont have time to check gauges in my first to second shifts would be really tough to catch yourself.
