Default Honda Challenge 1st S.Cal race

Well, I can only discuss Friday and Saturday. Friday was f-ing cold! Windy too, but that’s Willow Springs.

Thanks to Ryan and all the Tech guys. Really ensuring great racing and making safety a priority!

Friday testing was the usual scramble. Everyone seeing what sort of condition all the late nights and arguments about time away from the family would bring to the table.

First off, I beat the H4 "National Champion", would've thought he'd be fast...

Landry Bros. great to see ya guys again.

Tom, thanks for helping me get to Qualifying.

Renan, you mad fast yo! Guess it had something to do with your dog's “golden shower cryo treatment" of your right front rotor and tool box. Nice smell by your pitt. Guess maybe you should’ve set aside time to walk the dog, at least once a day. Then we all wouldn’t have to deal with him throwing a deuce in the paddock. What a tool!

Benny, great battles. We were just getting started, too bad the race ended under full course caution. Two wide in T9 was a blast! Feeling pretty good my budget racer could hang with the F1 budget car you put together.

Thanks to all the Special Projects guys! Kiwi and Eric, you guys rock! Car was flawless! Mad props. to Eric for running around like a crazy man debugging everyone’s nightmares. Had to be at least 6 cars you were saving from not making da show.

Jeremy thanks for the spacers and gym equipment. Without that I would have been a spectator.

Thanks to all my two wide T9 battles, Ryan, Manny and Benny. That is what it’s all about, great clean competitive racing!

Well, great time... Bummed I couldn't be there on Sunday. Can't make Cal Speedway. Hope to see ya all at Buttonwillow.

Dude , I am soo glad you decided to pull the trigger and buy that car. For The price of a Viper transmission you are racing and placing well in a fun and competitive class.

Yes one of the highlights of my weekend was pulling back into the pits with all my friends watching and my big black rotweiller walks up, lifts his leg and pisses directly onto my front brake rotor . It lays this big steam cloud up and the dog looks at me like " its cool ,, I got this " . All my friends laughing and pointing.

next morning a cat had "sprayed " in my car so it smelled like cat pee the whole weekend. WTFYO

Ya thanks to Eric and Kiwi and the group for all their help at the track. Kiwi your H1 car was a blast to drive , thanks again.

Bennys car was getting sorted out, but it is really nice.

Dude whats up with the one day racer? mommy wont let you play on Sundays>?

Saturday's race was pretty entertaining, then very anti-climatic with the red flagged finish. I was only there watching on saturday - congrats Renan.

How did sunday go?

Dude, easy on the beaver.... I already got a two day hall pass! I had the west valley regional diaper changing competition on Sunday.

By the way, love the JB quick weld on the oil pan then hair dry prior to the race. Oh and the tool can't even throw in a oil change after draining the blackest "goop" he called oil. Just recycle and put it back in the motor... Glad to know you are racing green.... what a buttmunch!
