Default First Autocross event!

With doubts in my car lately and the itch to sell it and buy a 240....those doubts and thoughts were quickly gone after today.

I ran in DSP. Had a great time. New omni sport coilovers did great, and idrove pretty well for my first event ever.

Only 2 cars in my class. A stock motor 240 on full suspension, caged, and also had slicks. He ran about a half a second faster than me. so im pretty stoked about how well i did.

Fastests stock class time of the day was 59.xx and i ran multiple 61.xx

With some more seat time i should get better. Then slowly ill make adjustments as needed!

Onto some pics.

PICS














and yes my helment is yellow and purple...and very free! (given to me)

Intake, cat-back (BC spec 2), Omni full bodies

it was kinda confusing. im not sure what class i should be in either since i dont have back seats. Im thinking im supposed to be in SM.

They said it shouldnt be a problem since im new and wont do good and its the last race ofthe season...little did they know! lol

Thanks for all the compliments. It was a blast! car did great and everyone who hasnt attended and autox event and competed, needs to do so. You learn alot about your car and driving

It sounds like STX is gonna be where you wanna be next time. You are legal for DSP but not really competetive for that class based on your mods. Most importantly, it's all about fun and learning caR control.

in that case, put your seats back in and be in STX or stay in DSP. I think you'd be way more competitive in STX

My bad. I missed that part. Without seats you are DSP.
Put your seats back in.

Congrats, and welcome to the addiction.

If you want to see more Hondas & Acuras, come to an Atlanta event next year (www.soloatlanta.com). We have 3-4 Type Rs every event, and and a buttload of Civics.
