Interscope #0 935 K3 driven by Leh Keen "The Hawk" feature race 2015 

It's crazy with how advanced technology has become that still the a lot of the most powerful racecars ever made are from 30+ Years ago

Dude and to think he was still getting left of the straights!!!!

I don't know, which chassis this is, but it is a 1980 or even 1981 car. The K3 as such was introduced in 79.

What livery was on that car? Great info!

@@ACMEpowersports sorry for the delay I've only just revisited this footage for a coffee and nostalgia moment! It was still in its full and menacing Interscope livery. From memory I think the car was mainly raced by Danny Ongais in period. We only had a limited lime with it, around 2 years but I believe it was pretty much the last "non tube frame" car Kremer built. We were also lucky enough to have it at the same time as the Travel cruiser car which was originally a Porsche factory 935 #21 then subsequently converted by Kremer which was an early K3 and there were many differences between the two cars. This car had different and more adjustable suspension pick up points, A kind of Hybrid Bosch/Kuglefischer mechanical injection system that was happy AFR wise running higher boost over longer time periods without leaning off etc. It also had more aggressive aero fences and a slightly higher rear window and wing line, all small changes but really obvious with the 2 car together. It was and hopefully still is a very serious car, especially with a half turn or 2 or 3 on the "gas valve" by the gear lever. I think rightly given that it hadn't had much shake down before this race the boost was set very conservatively looking at the incar footage (maybe the lowest setting 1.1 bar). With most of the pace coming from a very talented driver in the braking/corners, When I originally watched this I was willing Leh to wind the valve clockwise as each half a turn would have added around 45hp (0.1bar) and "shortened" the straights considerably then the gear lever pivot bolt fell out and I felt a bit defective!.. Good times sorely missed ...I hope it's still being properly exercised as these cars perform best when used regularly?

@@ccr9568 Man this great info and history thank you so much

Do you even love the hidden nitrous bottle they cheated with?

Its a reunion race you never know what level of prep or driver is behind any of them....

@@nightreapers3425 it was only one team that ever cheated with a nitrous bottle. The whittington brothers 935 k3 was the only one that cheated. Not all of them

@@cam_121 Once cheater's always a cheater

@@cam_121 Bmw did it right with the e46 m3 gtr. they didn't need nitrous

More downforce? sure; more hp? i doubt that

@@scrabsdead I doubt many carry more downforce too. Seems silly to even allow this car in here.

@@scrabsdead well why were some cars pulling away if they didnt have more hp ??

@@scrabsdead I actually it’s the other way around lol. Compared to the other cars he was passing the Porsche downforce is nothing. But the Porsche has way more HP though.

Hi Vini thanks mate so the yellow car was a Monza, Jesus Leh can drive but that Monza did not think it could put pull a 935 😳

Or even crying out for a 5th gear...Porsche 935 is a four-speed!

+beholderlt Several times a day! :)

My girlfriend just yelled from the living room "Turn down the volume" & "Are you watching cars again?". I love 911s.

What!??!

are you implying there's an other way besides full volume?

HELL YEAH!!!!! None of that NEWFANGLED paddle shifting stuff either!!!!

+Thomas Martin The over rev at 18:15 messed up Leh's engine?

​@@reeceengineering3560 Maybe he don't know if that shift will break the engine so he went slow after that to try to protect it?

I got to time Mr. Onthegas that year! That was the first car I ever timed that was under two minutes! We used to have to do math to record the times on a card. And no there weren't stopwatches that regular people could afford back then.

I assumed that was a Dekon Monza.

Probably so.....

Milty!

Danny hit the bank hard right below my feet at the bridge at Road Atlanta. Flipped and landed passenger side down broadside to the track, dead under the bridge. Demolished the car.

Haha 👍😊

That is Al Holberts' old car. Yeah it was a missile!

yes my god
