Default H5 Civic Meets Great Wall of Hotlanta

I put it in the wall on the inside of T1. Broke the lower control arm, axle, bent shock, basically a front right corner, rear trailing arm and good ol body work. The car wouldnt roll foward, so we pushed it up on the trailer backwards.

I put my car into the armco at LRP during Friday's qualifying session in the rain. No suspension damage or engine damage. A good deal of plastic was broken though.

Sorry to hear about your contact Shane. You've got a month to get it together for Nationals are you going to still make it?

We left the track at noon today, went for the shop. Got the control arm, axle,brakes, fender, and rear trailing arm replaced in just a few hours. the frame needs a slight tug, but besides that a good alignment and im all set. Im alittle Sore today, imagine that Video will be up soon....

John Reamer in his H3 Integra lost fourth gear in Qualifying so 2 of the 5 Honda Challenge cars broke.

that video is not all that fun to watch.... I feel "hurty" when the wall smack happens.

Its either push your car to the limit(and maybe have to deal with the consiquences) ....or putt around the track like a turtle.

I am just glad you are o.k. *heart*

Ahhh .. that makes sense. I was thinking "damn those ratios suck" while watching your vid. You're constantly out of the powerband on upshifts and downshifts practically peg the tach. If you can swing it, I'd imagine a $500-ish FD from Kiwi for that box would be well worth the cash.
