The first day started out cold, a little breezy, and sprinkled on and off slightly throughout the day. My first pass wasn't very good as I miss shifted and ran a 13.81 @ 101.77 (1.770 60ft). I got laughed at bad... Robert (my shop head mechanic) was talking some trash about the nasty sounds of "non driving fool" (he said worse) miss-shifting on the track and then he found out it was me, so he rubbed it in a bit. I learned how to drive right after that and followed up with a 12.94 @ 106.2 (1.795 60ft). One really cool thing was my 60ft times. I finally broke into the 1.7's. My third pass was a 13.00 @ 106.49 (1.80 60ft). A little off mark, but consistant enough to back up my other passes. Pass #4 was the quickest of the day where I ran 12.81 @ 107.1 (1.772 60ft). I was excited since I broke my previous record, and this was also the first of my 3 "qualifying" runs for the COMP 4 class. Qualifying round 2... I miss-shifted into third again and this time hurt the tranny. Coming off the track I was unable to downshift without things feeling really notchy. I went to slow down into 1st and nothing but grindage. Rain sat in as I tried to figure out what I had done to the tranny. The event cancelled for the night as I drained the tranny to start my inspection and all I saw was brass sparkles in the fluid. NOT A GOOD SIGN. The cops came and started asking people to leave, so I was unable to go further with my teardown. The next morning I decided to just take my chances... I filled the tranny up and went for a test drive. Shifted fine, but downshifting sucked. GAME ON! The third qualifier was for the quick 8 and I was sitting in 8th clinging to my spot. All I had to do was beat my first qualifying time. I did not, I ran a 12.84 @ 108.49 (1.769 60ft). I was excited that my MPH went way up and even more excited to find out I had qualified to the Quick 8. So the Elimination rounds were next. I was done for... I was the only oddball among an entire field of civics. Gutted and cut up civics, no less. This drew some positive attention from the anouncer who pointed out that I had the only full factory bodied/glassed 4dr ACCORD in the field. This made quite a few people take notice. My last pass, although I was beat by a much lighter car was my best of the event. I pulled off a 12.721 @ 108.30 (1.753 60ft)

GOOD STUFF

 

uber congrads man.....frankly, i think that times form a daily driven NA accord w/ interior and glass is more than impressive....in your last update, you talked about new fuel management (i think) and ITB's....any updates on those?...keep up the good work

btw: accords look sext w/ drag wheels, even if the paint job is weird

 

does your car shoot flames out the back??

i seriously love your car

 

that's one badass car that you have their scott...good job as always...what's next?

 

Weren't you on Sport Compact Car mag a while ago? Either way, Nice car and nice times

 

Hell yeah dude. Very well done. You are always a source of inspiration for the accord family.

 

Thankyou all fo rthe nice comments.

I really don't have any radicle plans coming up. I will have a "ram air" intake made for the CB7 chasis... that may help a bit. Maybe some suspension work to help out with the 60ft times.

 

Where did I see this car before? Was it in a magazine or something?

Nice, BTW.

 

Beautiful.

 

good ****

 

That red civic had a lot of stickers. That's why he beat you, duh.

 

that car is no joke, you are an inspiration to accord owners. congrats on beating your personal bests!

 

i like to see this... i use to have an accord and i never dreamed it could do this...

 

Nice! H-series power!

Here is another 2.6 that is not honda, but it is roaring!

Nice job on the car and way to prove that an Accord can do something...

 

Man that shows the potential of an NA h22. I know it was a lot of $$ but with times like that it seems like it is well worth it.

Yes, the car ws a feature in "SCC" a while back. So much has changed since then...

 

...i think i saw that accord in scc a few years back.

 

I WAS THERE! THAT IS FIREBIRD! THAT CAR IS SICK!

 

Did folding the side mirrors in help at all?
