This sound is awesome,I like it very much.All thumbs upfor this.

A pretty remarkable guy! One of his drivers said it was the worst car he ever drove! Nonetheless, this man's innovations changed auto racing and not by just a little!

Yes it is toxic. It is caused from weather modification nano-particle falling to earth.

I lived up the road, over that hill and about a mile on down, two blocks away from where it crossed the highway.

The way it wedged out reminded me of the Moore EF5, which would take place 2 years after this one.

This evening was the first time I'd been out of my bed since getting the drunkest I'd ever been with my cousin on the 4th. I'd left my iPhone (thus, camera) in my his camper after my wife took me home before the hangover hit, one still ongoing when I drove 30 miles east to catch a near-wedge cone near Newton. Realized my phone WASN'T in the last place I remembered when I reached in to snap a shot and call the NWS. I have not had an opportunity to be the only chaser on a tornado again, and this is the only tor of the 86 I've seen that I have no evidence of whatsoever. I never got drunk again after that. My chase partner, Dan, and I call this the "Carrot tornado." It sits with Campo, Wray, Laramie and a few other photogenic tornado days over by the Rockies as one of the few tornadoes that happened while I was doing something else or chasing somewhere else during my part-time 16-year "career" (if you call it that). I'd give one of my higher-end chases to have seen this tornado. Even the cone by Newton I saw that same night didn't do it justice, as it was a grungy turd I saw from the west end of the hook; unlike this beauty, the RFD had it wrapped in rain pretty quickly on my Newton catch, and killed it off. The storms looked so crappy before the low level jet hit them with some kind of magic that night. It was not unlike last Tuesday (the April 16th tornadoes by New London), which looked like complete garbage and left us moaning in agony as people scored by the low and on isolated cells over by Ft. Dodge and on the first band of storms that had long since passed us by over and up by Ottumwa earlier in the day. Then the height falls finally wheeled down to hit us, and the things went from blown out ice cubes to wedge-producing, fully separated flying eagles in less than an hour. Iowa can suck and does suck most chase days, but occasionally you get some real magic here. We had four tornado days last year - a 100% hit rate, with every single one of those days giving us big returns for small drives from Des Moines. After having health problems, I called it a year even though the last of those days was halfway through May. We'd not even left the state and had ten tornadoes under our belt. This place is the best-kept secret in stormchasing.

Big block Chevy powered Go-karts are pretty cool.

Such a cool car, too bad it was not successful. We had a Strombecker slot car set with one of these when I was a kid.

Hall could have made the 2D a road legal supercar.

One of the most beautiful looking cars of all time.

My daughter lost her home in this.....

May 24th*** not 24 May!

I was inside of that when i was like 5

I saw both Joplin and this tornado damage ground level and the two were indistinguishable, other than Joplin was more wide spread.

Probably the mos fun race I ever saw was Hall in the 2G and Bruce McLaren (M6?)battling at Riverside Raceway in '67 or '68. In those days the pits were open and located in the center of the track. My buddy and I were able to watch most of the race by walking around the pits at the same speed as the cars were going around the track. I have some slides of the wing on the Chaparrel in different positions. Great memories!

I took a direct hit at the watsons trailer park just south of chickasha by they haul storage unit

Beautiful!!! 😍

That was the same day as the El Reno tornado which was rated an EF5. That's not to be confused with the El Reno tornado of May 31, 2013.

I shaped a few of my pinewood derby cars from the '60s to look like chaparral cars.

Hey look a lotus..... ? or is that the newer lotus looks like the chaparral ?

BSH1300 Renault Alpin Motor

At 0:22 it definitely looks like a second, larger tornado is trying to occlude next to it!

This is the only one i never would like ,seems the drivers feet are so far forward in a front crash it would break his legs and i don't like the closed cockpit. Other then that it might be great as all the rest of the models.

Back when race cars were BEASTS! WONDERFUL!!! Thanks for posting!

Did this storm even manage to produce a tornado? A really sick and mean looking system like this should have done so.

Nicknamed "the white whale", it had handling to match. Driver John Surtees was so disgusted with the thing that Jim Hall had to order him to get back in and drive it. That unhappy moment was captured in a famous photo.

The one that never really worked, sadly

Without a doubt Jim Hall was a visionary.

This one completely fulfills my childhood aesthetic criterion of automotive beauty.

That is one seriously wicked looking race car. Looks fast just sitting still.

Would love to see data from a wind tunnel on that beast.

Who is the driver? It doesn't look like Jim Hall.

If that tornado sweeps Tilston away,we only have Pierson to go shopping,and that is a small town

There is to tornado

I have one of every Chaparral slot cars C and D were awesome Met Jim at Lime rock a fierce yet wonderful man, He created active aeronautics by the seat of his pants and a slide rule. Jim Hall Lives!

That is one bada$$ looking car!!!

One of the most beautifully strange looking racecars of all time. A true Chaparral.

Fantastic documentation.... it almost feels like storms like this are extinct in the plains.

Cam Am car ?

Here's a movie I took of this car at Riverside, when it had a very high wing: kzbin.info/www/bejne/momokISqp72IbrM

Some of the lp's appeared like a mini hurricane in form... the "comma" I live in NM at the Western foothills of the Sandia and Manzano (Sandia crest is North about 12 mi). I often see rotation in storms but I'm told the mountain chain wreaks havoc and oftentimes appear unorganized .. Apparently we don't have the storm making dynamics like y'all out in tornado country but when the ts come up or down the rio grand valley by some storm system, can get some doozies.

Just curious , Rocksinthehead , is there any other significance to that name other than folks think your crazy like me for chasing tornadoes ?

Had a model of this car in Germany as a kid. Remember when it shat all over Porsche and Ferrari in the ADAC 1000km👍

Did u film this?

I saw that when I was riding my bike

What a spectacular car from the mind of Jim Hall. You have to know that thing will pin your neck and head back when you stand on the loud pedal. God let man discover gasoline so that we could bust it in a car like the 2H.

One of the stipulations of Jim Hall's bequest to the Petroleum Museum is that all the cars were to be maintained in running condition. About every two months or so they take one out of the museum and drive it around the circular drive of the museum.

They raised the seat. Surtees felt claustrophobic . Couldn’t see out of it. The 2H had a De Dion rear end. Always liked the concept of this car , they couldn’t get it to work . I think an article on this car said there were stability problems with the narrow approach .

I love Chaparrals. My father took me to the Can-Am in '66 and '67 at Bridgehampton, L.I., N.Y.(may it rest in peace) and saw the 2E twice. I had the Cox Chaparral 2E 1/24 scale slot car with the moveable wing. Every car Jim Hall and his team came up with, I thought, was years ahead of it's time. The 2J was(no pun intended) mind blowing to me. Brabham did the same thing. It was an amazing period for racing IMHO.

Damn, I'm about to try this tomorrow. Does it help to have the engine cover and spoiler piece removed already?
