In-Car Video #42 ECHC Car - Summit Point Oct 16th
Here is a few laps from the last Honda-Challenge race at Summit Point. I think I set the track record on lap 3 or 4.

Yeah, you do. That vid is sweet, too!
You know you can walk to Jefferson. You don't have to look and see what's going on while going through 3 at the beginning of your race

Great driving guys.
Chad, is that your front wheel or your back wheel you keep locking up? I have a problem of locking up my rear passenger wheel and I'm trying to think of ways of moving the bias up further forward or at least off of the rear right tire.

It doesn't lock up too badly. Just be more judicious with the brake pedal :-P It didn't lock up on me very often. The brakes feel good, other than the typical Honda fwd wiggle.

Yeah, driver error, and yes braking is decent, but I'd still rather have one of the front wheels lock up first. That way, I know I'm getting maximum braking from my front wheels.

rears.....only on HARD off camber braking...will be moving more weight towards the rear hopefully that will help!

Yea, its pretty typical to drag the right rear on a honda. Easy quick fix is to raise the left front a little bit (even if corner balance is at 50/50).
I would NEVER want the front tires to lock before the rears.. Flatspots and loss of steering/stopping sucks!
If I'm dragging the rears, I got a couple things wrong (and I do, and I know I do).
A. Inproper suspension setup (Andie has been beating me for years about this)
B. To much brake bias
C. Trying to damn hard
Priorities are in that order...

Good video Pete appears you and your car was hanging right there with "west coast type power" the whole time with your B-series.

Same here. I've got sphericals in the trailing arm. The car will still want to pitch one way or the other at times, but the "wiggle" is pretty much gone.

Good driving Pete! You got some fast hands
Questions:
1. How much is the car weigh?
2. Is the car prep to the max of the rule?
3. Why put the MyChron that far? Can you even see the display other than flashing lights? Can you reach and press the button to change views or page?
Now, let's see the remaining footage!
