yeah, he's probably from Florida since David Wallens writes for that mag and he lives in Ormond Beach - can't confirm that though

Well it's his car and he can do what he wants.

But personally I think it's fucken gay to hill climb an ITR.

Get this, he wants to hill climb a NSX in the future. His dream probably to hill climb F1 car. Or drag race with a 747.

I think it just shows what an excellent platform the Type-R is. Sure, it was not designed with rallying in mind but its a testament to the greatness of the car that it can be successful doing so. Really, what would be a better car for the 2WD class than the ITR?

How many of you guys who are hating on this guy actually drive your R on a race track or autocross regularly? I know none of you guys are Grand-Am Cup or World Challenge drivers so don't turn up your nose at someone who is a real competition driver. Give him credit for doing something no one has before and doing it well with a car we all love .

And yes, Blake is within ~45 minutes of where I live and since I'm the "official FL chain smoker"...

-Dave, who will race his integra anywhere, even if there are jumps. It's just a ******* car. Race it on gravel, dirt, snow, mud, ice, wet racetracks, drag (oops! did I say that?!?!), etc.
