Hi guys,

This was the 2010 “hyperfest” weekend races at Summit-Point raceway. There was about 150 race cars total split into 3 different run groups. The Honda-challenge had about 20 cars, and we shared the track with about 30 other race cars for our run group (mostly Mazda Miata’s). They had about 7,500 drunken spectators there this year for the races and other festivities!

I got 2nd on Saturday and 1st on Sunday, So I got a few free tires, and a set of brake pads!
My crew chief (the wife) loves it when I win free stuff.

I figured you prelude guys would like to see this.

 

nice, i like it. DQ on the red civic ftw.

 

Hey Walt, thanks for sharing that! Keep up the great racing!!

hey walt, melissa is getn tires for her 97 prelude, it has stock suspension. what is the widest and tallest tire she can fit on there on the stock rim.. Thanks,,

Good work this past weekend, i thought i had my car sorted but i guess i was wrong..

 

I used to run 215/45/16 on a stock prelude without a problem. Not sure how much bigger you can go I think maybe 225/45/16 would also work.

I use 245/45/16 on my race car but had to wack on a a few things with a big rubber mallet to make them not rub.

 

Very nice races Just one question. in the first video what is that red light that gets brighter and dims as you drive thats on the dash, in the 3 light cluster?

 

walt i had nuthin for the H22's on the straights...

here was my view

Those are my warning lights. One is for when water temp goes over 235F, other is when oil pressure goes below 60psi, and the last is for when oil temp goes over 240F. The one that is comming on is the oil temp going over 240F. It was leveling off at about 250F during the races. I need to try to get more air to my oil cooler or get a bigger cooler for hot days like this one. It was 95F outside.

Nice Video!! My car looks bad ars from the rear, haha. Good driving, thanks for not ramming me on the 1st lap there a few times! I do love the power of the H22 on tracks with long straights like at Summit-Point! My car loves that track. On a track like Mid-Ohio I have a much harder time with the lower HP / lighter cars.

 

sick!

 

Nice...

 

What do i need to do to get into this!?

 

Thanks for sharing, enjoyed watching the vids.
Btw sweet 5th gen.

 

a year or so of HPDE's under your belt, and a car, and money..

 

yea im trying to shake the habit of buying front bumper covers, i was thinkn of giving you a nudge afew times, thinkin it was my only hope...

 

225/45/16's will work fine! If you go lower, depending on your offset, you may have to roll your fenders a bit. But I run them no problem.

Pro-tip: the Falken 452's in 225/45/16's run out of tread faster than a slick. It's stupid. I put probably 3-4 months on them before they were crap. Don't be cheap, get the BFG G-forces. Great tires! Take it from a Discount Tire Service Tech.

 

I love the way you carry your speed and go WOT through that sweeper at like ~4:03. Seems like it would take a lot of confidence/skill to do that.

 

I guess you could say that I'm a fan of yours, I've seen a lot of your races on youtube. Very nice work and excellent driving

However, I was hoping to pick your brain a bit. Above you say that you used to run 215/45/16. I'm curious what brand of tire you used? I'm looking to keep my stock SH wheels but was also hoping for a slightly larger contact patch (hence 215). However, there's only a handful of tires that are available in that size. I've actually had more luck finding 215/55/16 than any other combination (50, 45 or otherwise) through Tirerack and Discount Tire. your opinion is appreciated.

 

Falken Azenis RT-615K are a good tire and come in 216/45/16. That's what I used and liked them. Just don't expect to get anywere near 40K miles like a normal streat would out of them. They make a great streat / auto-x / track day tire if that's what you are looking for.

 

How much spring do you have under the car?

 

Not sure if this was directed at me, but currently I'm running Tein S-techs. This is a daily driver but it will see circuit days at least twice a year. I've grown comfortable with the fact that I'll prolly end up getting 55 series since I've had bad luck with pot holes in the past; it's mainly the gearing reduction and unsprung weight I'm concerned about.

We enjoyed watching that very much. Keep it up man! Close Miata passes FTW!

 

Got a question on ur website with the car specs i says u change the valve springs that's it what type cams are u running and are u making power to 8600rpm

Also in the sunday race that white and black car was that a honda accord cb7 chassis.

 

when you got into 2nd on the saturday race, you turned into an animal!

Once there was no one around to mess up his lines it looks like. Did that Accord bump you towards the beginning of the Sunday race? Looked like the car took a hard jolt right before he passed you. And do you run a standard 5G steering rack? It just looks like your car turns quicker than that

 

The white and black car is an old accord (not sure what chasis) with a JDM H22A engine.

We have to use OEM cams in H2 and that's what I'm using. The head has a 5 angle valve job, intake and exhaust port matching (1" into the head max), and decked to get compression up to 10.5:1 (max for h2). The TB is from a S2000 so that also helps it breath. I know a lot of people say you can't make power over 7500 rpm on OEM cams but trust me my car does. In fact I wish I could safely rev it higher because it is making really good power up there! ....also I'm using a 3" diameter exhaust which helps the high RPM power. Note: I'm probably giving up power under 5K RPM but I don't care cuz I never let them fall that low in a race.

No he didn't bump me, he was on the inside lane for that high speed kink and I was not sure we could hold it 2 by 2 through there at those speeds without taking us both out so I hit my brakes to play it safe then tucked in behind him.
