Cooters Goat
Are there any photos available of the damage to Jimmy’s GTO?

Re: Cooters Goat
Curious of the actual cause of the mayhem...
Sounded like a flywheel issue. Haven't seen anything like that since the Porter days, and that was a balancer that came apart pre SFI. |

Re: Cooters Goat
Here are some photos. This could have been REALLY bad. I have an unconfirmed rumor that the back of the crankshaft broke off. I'm not sure if this is true or not.

Re: Cooters Goat
I was in the barn when they pulled the trans.
Crankshaft was not broken. What remained of the flexplate was still bolted with all bolts to the crank. Approximately 2/3 of the flexplate was still there. Parts of flexplate and ring gear were gone. The Trans case bell and ears were broken off. |

Re: Cooters Goat
This all happened during round 1 of Stock on Sunday. Jimmy was going to be racing Bill Basham. The video is here (you'll have to scroll back to the 1:00:10 point):
At first it's only the announcer talking over the results screen from the previous match. After about 2½ minutes they switch back to the camera and you can see the aftermath. Last edited by Mike Schwartz; 05-24-2023 at 11:40 PM. Reason: Video placement & time stamp |

Re: Cooters Goat
I'm standing over the wall from the water box.
Bashum started his burnout & the flywheel ring gear came apart. I have a inch & half piece that I picked up. Went through the 1/4 panel & busted out the right side 1/4 window. Could have been worse. |
