Default Honda Challenge National Championship race report & pictures.

Hey guys. NASA held it's 1st ever National Championship race at Mid-Ohio earlier this month. This was a stand alone 4 day event to determine the best in the country. I have some great pictures and a race report up on my website. I figured I would share with my fellow prelude lovers:

http://www.mckinneyraceworks.c...22_94

There were several other Prelude at the race:

Chris fries (Chris F) in his 4th gen H1 prelude that used to be Cory's (Honda318dx) old prelude.
David Rierson (DR) in his 5th gen H2 prelude.
Trevor Melville (trev) in his 3rd gen H4 prelude.
Team Honda Research had a 5th gen there also, but I don't think those guys are on Honda-tech.


....anyway, if you're bored at work, check it out.

In h2 to h5 you can only machine the head 1" or less into the ports, any farther and you get DQ'd. In H1 and HU you can do much much more and still be legal.

I'm going to be adding hondata and a new LSD (switching to kaaz) for next year, so I'm hoping to do better next year. I'm still using the bone stock ECU right now.

I don't have any video but I know DR got some in his black 5th gen prelude. He posted a few laps here: (I dont' think he would mind me linking it)

Also here is one a spectator put together of all the race groups. (HC starts at about 8:50)

We gave him such a hard time after the race for that one. I'm sure he will never do that again.
