Default Checked out Honda-Challenge.com lately?

There is a spiffy feature where you get a random, exciting pic of your favorite Honda Challenger each time you visit the home page. Just keep banging the refresh button to see them all.

Zsolt also just added the first of many photo galleries (the exhibition at VIR). We will post photos from every event in these galleries.

The final (hopefully) schedule is there as well.

And it wouldn't hurt us if you'd hit a few sponsors links while you're there .

CMP is just around the corner .

See ya,
Scott

I check the site everyday, also. Im checking to see if there is any new info that comes in about once a mth. bleh

Something to think about:

If I was looking at Honda Challenge & read all the good stuff about 13/13 rule... I wouldnt want to look at the exhibition pics & see Scott "bumping" the crx out of the way. Just another look from my perspective.

Checked out Honda-Challenge.com lately?
I have... but recent changes to the web site have resulted in the site being blocked (very effectively) at my work place.

Scott wasn't bumping anybody. That caption was a joke because it looks like he is bumping him in that pic. Take it from the guy driving the blue CRX behind them - they stayed totally clean.

Just all in good fun. People running in the series better know the 13/13 policy backwards and forwards. For those watching, it doesn't matter. Plus .. "pushing" to me means riding some1's bumper in order to make them drive their mirrors and mess up so you can pass them.

This is actually one of the cooler pics from the weekend. Other captions you can substitute if you like:

"Bookler: Looking at his apex/track out. Giles: Looking at Richman's bumper. RIchman: Looking in the mirror going, On my god, all I see is this big, black, loud Acura on my bumber. I am scared."

"Fresh engine: $5000. New suspension: $1000. Having trouble passing a punch of 1.5L CRXs, frustrating."

Hey, you're right. Woo hoo! I'm actually doing what I'm supposed to be doing!

"Fresh engine: $5000. New suspension: $1000. Having trouble passing a punch of 1.5L CRXs, frustrating."
Ouch! Oh, and Richmond's CRX is a 1.6L, mine is the 1.5....

By the way, those pictures are awesome. Is there a place where we can find the ones that were not posted to that gallery? I know there are some more because the pic of my car that randomly pops up on the front page is one I've never seen before, and they aren't in that gallery. I want more!!!!!

Oh, and I think I need stiffer springs. Look at my body roll compared to Adam and Scott's cars!

Nice work Zsolt! I think if memory serves . . .
Bookler: "NO ADAM! I meant Scott could go by! Not YOU!"
Giles: "Turn you son of bi*&^ TURN!"
Richman: "La di la . . . la di la - yep Scott's still back there - la di la . . . la di la . . . . wonder if Matt will buy that I didn't understand that whole point by Scott only thing"

No, it was more of a signal to tell you that Scott is so far up your *** that he knows what you ate for lunch, and when I tried to let you know that, you swung out to pass. I figured I'd let you by cuz of your horsepower advantage, and leave poor Scott to try to pass you. Intermediate run group rules suck - I wanted to race!

Yeah, Scott was a terror on the straights that weekend ;^) And Matty, don't worry, you'll get plenty of time to race me as I'll just be trying to outrun H5ers at CMP

Nah! That's not going to last long. I held with you at VIR because I've been racing a CRX for 3 years, and that was the first time you had that thing on the track. Once you get used to it, you'll be long gone.

What should be interesting will be to see how many cars I can get past at the starts (because I'm used to race starts), and then watching them pick me off one by one as the crowd starts thinning out.

No black flag needed here Jim, however, I believe that Jon Starnes (28 H2) accidentally wrote down my transponder number - please use the one he wrote down for my car, number 42 H4

OK, OK. I Admit that the CRXs weren't easy to dispose of. But I DID catch them easily enough. Hmmmm... they must have picked up the pace just a smidge when the big black meanie loomed in the rearview. I know that Adam "Hey... I didn't lift in the esses" Richman picked it up ALOT .

Scott, who is hoping this weekend he'll discover that the whole "TURN YOU B^%*!" thing has been alleviated.

PS - Honesty time. I didn't actually mean to be that close to Adam under HPDE rules. The sun was directly in our faces in that turn and I was pretty much blinded. When I could see again, I was slighty surprised to see I was less than a foot off of Adam's bumper. It didn't bother him, so all was kewl and it made for one helluva photo op.

PS2 - Major props to Zsolt on the website. He volunteers his time to the Honda Challenge and does a fantastic job.
