Yeah it's pretty great... She will be the one going for championship points, her father has just gotten into road racing, until this year he was an autocrosser.

Well we knew we wanted to run ITR since it's one of the more Honda friendly classes in scca, and we were originally thinking about an integra type r. But after looking at hp/weight ratios based on class minimum weights the DC5 has a huge advantage, being capable of 220-230whp in ITR legal trim whereas the type r would still be under 200.

That paired with the dc5s 6spd trans, and the fact that I know the chassis inside and out made it an easy choice.

Y'all are always up to something awesome. I can't wait to see what happens with this car. Your work on your EP is astonishing - what you will do with a real full on race car is going to boggle minds.

You dont have to convince me to get it, you have to convince me to have the money to buy it.

Got some SHG homies over and attacked the sound deadening! We bought 40 lbs of dry ice in am and got the whole thing done in a few hours. We started cleaning off all the residue but didnt get too far since we ran out of brake clean.

Thanks Boyz
