Reading H-T, it never seems to amaze me how many serious track cars there are in and around SoCal. Many of them, I've never seen.

It occurs to me that there may never be "one event" that could draw all these cars out to. Likewise, its unlikely we'd all have them running at the same time. Or be able to pay for gas and track fees on the same weekend. So I thought it'd be cool to start a SoCal area track car thread just to see what's in the area...

Please post photos, snaps and info if your car fits any of the following descriptions:
• Competes in SCCA
• Competes in NASA
• Competes in Time Attack
• Needs a trailer because its not legal to drive
• has a full cage
• over the last two years has been driven more miles on the track than on public roads
• possesses some other characteristic that makes it a TRUE track car (rather than just a car you track)
• has actually BEEN to the track (and isn't still in the project stage...)

Here's mine:

• Fastbrakes/Wilwood 2-piston rear brake calipers
• Hawk Performance brake pads
• 15x7 aluminum wheels
• 225/50-15 DOT competition tires
• SPC components for camber and alignment adjustments

Drivetrain:
• Honda B20 block & cylinder head

This is a track/street car.
The most street time it saw this year was to drive to California Speedway.
The most street time it saw last year was on and off the trailer at Buttonwillow, and to bed in my brakes.

About to come out in SO CAL H1 any minute now once I get a few bugs in the car worked out. Hope to run a few Time Attack events as well.

Too much to list-

NASA Spec cage
Full Progress suspension
Gear- X Final Drive
Clutchmasters clutch
Advanced Street Performance Header and exhaust
Rota Wheels

All work done by me in my garage

This car has seen 8 track days in 2007 with a GSR engine and over the winter got a new engine, added a cage and safety items and painted it. Did one lap at California Speedway in March with an axle issue. Looking forwad to getting it dailed in at the next event and hopefully get racing soon.

 

here's mine.. nothing special, just the basics, as it seems I prefer tracking it more than modding it (laziness). but it's been my track ***** for the last few years.
