Default Honda-Challenge H1 isn't competitive enough..

Beaverun.. Lap 4 or 5... I wonder what it would look like if Warren (was polesitter day before) was in there, and Pete had a better motor..


Saturday's Race at summit in October, same deal.. I remember going into T3 on the 5th lap, and the first 6 cars in HC1 were staggered.
1 2
3 4
5 6
Only a car's length apart.. to some of the best racing around, thats also fast.

Corey - who really wants to race, and to show everyone that laughs at honda-challenge that they are indead, the real deal, and things are being done right.

Yep, that was the best race weekend of my life... so far.

The closest of racing, multiple chassis, powerplants, FWD, RWD and almost zero contact both days. I'd say the H1 rules were fairly close after that weekend.

20 laps/ 25 mins. of that and no one got "moved" or damage.

That was a serious H1 weekend.

Too bad Warren's ITR passed away that weekend. I think he would have won one day if not both.

John- Who is very proud of what Scott and Karl made and passed on to us.

Sounds like we all will be getting back into the swing of things pretty soon and it looks like we'll have a big H1 class. Where's Warren?

EDIT: Anyone know how to get in touch with Warren?

Warren has seemed to take up swing dancing... His luck in motorsports has run out..

Anyways, IM me Jon, I'll get you Warren's info, BTW, he has his lexan'd hatch for sale, pretty cheap...

BTW, I found a picture of Franza's car....

So that was his secret! Parker, he screwed you on that deal...must have yanked that turbo set up before you picked up the car.
