Well guys I just got home from my weekend at Road Atlanta and taking my first road racing lessons. I must say Honda did one hell of a job with this car. It handled incredibly the whole weekend. My instructor was super impressed with the car. he said this car is perfect for road racing. I had a hell of a time and learned a lot. My top speeds on the first day was 105 on the back stretch and about 95 on the front stretch. By my last session this afternoon I was hitting 114 on the back stretch and 103 on the front stretch. It was an awesome feeling taking turns at 90+ and seeing my car stick all day long. The one area I definitely need to improve is the brakes. Brake fade happens real quick on stock pads and rotors. That will definitely be one of my next upgrades. But I must say this car definitely lives up to the hype and I can surely vouch for that since I have pushed this car extremely hard. I will post pics and videos as soon as I get them.

 

Gotta love Road Atlanta, my brother hit around 135 in his E46 M3 during his trackdays.

 

May also want to think about better brake fluid as the brakelines run close to the headers.

 

sounds like you had a hell of a time...its good to know that i have a car that was bulit for road racing...get those pics and vids up!!!!

 

How much was it to race

Yea I will be doing that at the same time. I actually want to change the brake lines to stainless steel when I do my other brake work.

 

YO MAN! That is awesome. That is me in the 24 car! Awesome Pic man. Mind if I grab that from you.

 

Thats one pic of my ride going to get with my buddy to get the video up tonight. Thanks to Hondizzle for the pic

No problem

Hondizzle! That actually snapped it... i talked to him last night
PM him and he might have more or a higher resolution one for you.


anyhow... how much was it to do this?

 

It was $349 for Road Atlanta. it is one of the more expensive ones cause road atlanta is expensive to rent out. I am going to CMP in June and it is $260 and more track time.

 

sounds awsome, that camera must have been pretty good, no telling how fast you were goin and it barely blurred the wheels at all haha.

 

How is now with the new pavement?

 

It was good. It was real slick in the mornings before the track got warmed up but it was nice and smooth. Great surface for my first lessons.

 

looks like that civic is about to roll over lol or its on 2 wheels :-D

 

Wow looks/sounds like a great time. One of these days I would love to do something like that, for now sunday Auto-X events will have to do.
