Hey Everyone,

Here's a sneak peak at Skunk2's coverage of the new Compass 360/Skunk2 Civic Si's launch at the 2009 Daytona race.

Skunk2 Racing: 2009 Grand Am Cup Season Begins!

 

nice nice. good luck at daytona

 

nice two and four doors........which one is faster?

 

The SI seems to be the way to go in koni. Its going to be close between Fenton and CR360

 

Specially with the rules that`s came with it..the difference of allowance between the new SI and the RSX doesn`t make sense other than force Honda/Acura guys to move to the SI platform...

 

agreed

 

Those cars look great...

 

The last 10-15 minutes of the ST race were SOOOO amazing. Good work guys! Wish I was out with you this year!

Anyway, anybody with SPEED Channel had BETTER watch the race coverage (at least the last hour of it) this Saturday @ 4p EST. SURiously good racing... and you might even see my goofy face! :D

 

Good looking cars, good race too. Was talking to Randy P. after the race and he really like the cars but the stock brakes where a little scary.

 

How come C360 doesn't use their TSX's anymore? does any team in ST run TSX's at all?
If no, why not?

 

The guys from the Dominican Republic do/are.


Because Honda decided that it wanted to support the civic SI in GAC so that is what the teams run.

 

basically honda switched its contingency money program to honda badged vehicles for Grand-Am... use to be Acura, but this year the Acura contingency is only for World Challenge. So if you want to win the contingency money in grand-am (which is a significant amount btw), teams will be running the Civic SI's over the TSX.

 

$10,000 for first place!
