Default Honda Cup coming to New Zeland in 2006

apparently stunna rice boys can be found the world over - woot!

Rules are set to be the same except slicks and ITB's are allowed - 6 cars are initially signed up with the possibility of 2~3 of them being shipped over at some point so frank lin can get all internationizzle on the right hand drive izzle for bizzle my nizzles! That and the fact Real Time likes honda cup according to studies makes them approximatly 40 billion percent cooler - at least then anything H-no ones got going

here's a snap of one NZDM ride just blingin

Somehow bourbon and bar sponsors seem very appropriate for a NZ car

Good job getting the series started over there Alan, I know how hard Motor Sport NZ is to deal with... But I'll bet SCCA are still the "Red Tape" Champions of the World!
You must be due for another trip over here soon? Let me know when and we'll hook you up with a drive. Although you might have a problem with licensing?
When I first came out here to Drive for Jackson Racing in '94 I had my MANZ National License and I had a full FIA International Racing License as well, which was not worth the paper it was written on according to SCCA? It worked fine for me in NZ, Australia and England, and probably Europe? But no good here?
Although we have NASA, TCRA, Speed Ventures, Red Line, even Grand Am(NASCAR) It's a good thing there are so many different Racing Organizations here. We might even be able to get you into one of the Cobalts for a Grand AM race?
Anyway, With some Kiwi ingenuity we'll make "Honda Cup" an International series yet!

Good luck,

Kiwi

Nice front valance/lip. Is that a custom unit? Do they make one for a EG?

Undertray has had a little aero development and runs back to the driveshafts

Yeah definitely overdue for a trip to California real soon.
have a few things going on with my business at the moment but am hoping that everything will be sorted by Xmas and I could be ''unemployed'' !

I have a car and a sponsor and now that I am organising the series am finding it hard to find time to get in the car !

Heard the licencing was a problem in the US.
I have used my FIA licence in NZ, Australia, UK without problems

What would the deal be? Would I have to compete at some lower level events or start from scratch?

Pictue of your new car looks exciting . Is it an import rebaged or actually made in USA?

Cheers
Al
