Default Race Video, Honda-challenge, Mid-Ohio Aug. 2008. H1 battle between 3rd, 4th, 5th.

Eric Olson (red Civic with GSR swap) and I moved our H2 cars into H1 for the weekend for a shot at some toyo $$. On Sunday John Oldt's S2000 seemed to be down on power and made a great car for us to race with I got around John's car on the last lap, and Eric was right on my tail most of the race. Was great fun!!

Here is the video:

Not sure. Can't beat Helms, and beating you will be too easy and you have an excuse for being slow. Then, it'll be like doing a DE or TT. Plus, I'm so behind at work, I should work this weekend.

If Smitdog comes race, I might go.

Oh, I would have thought it was the driver that made his car slow.

JFO, I'm probably going to race this weekend. So I'll see you there?

Walt, you make me sad. I was only about a second faster than you and I was on hoosiers

So Walt, what did you do besides the wing? I got the car to idle today back to the stock throttle body though

New wing, got 245/45/16 tires in the back and front now (not just the front). Set rear sway-bar from mid to full stiff. lost about 35lbs by going with all lexan windows other than front windshield. ...that's it.

I want to take another 20lbs off the car by modding the bumpers a bit, and I might try running a little more neg. chamber up front (currently -3, might try -4 for kicks), and maybe a slight bit of toe out in the rear for next race. I need to find more speed, cuz Eric (Redcivic92) was all over me the entire race with his civic!

You shouldn't be all that impressed, just look who my first instructor was. . I have improved so much by just racing with these guys and picking up on some of the things they do. Seat time is also a big factor, and I have been getting as much as I can. I've got a couple of performance items coming that will be installed for Nationals, hopefully I'll be abel to make a good showing.
