Default It's 2012 - Where are you running this year?Why?

Where are you running this year? It doesnt matter if you are east or west or in the middle. Cone head,HPD'er, Time Attack or Road racer, let us know where you will be running this season and why.

I will be running NASA HPD Honda Challenge again because it is so much fun battling the best drivers around, and I really like the comraderie. Additionally if I can manage to fit them in my budget maybe a few other novice events like HFF-C so I can pick on the hard parkers.

Central FL region SCCA

Roebling rd double drivers school in feb with the Buccaneer region.

Roebling and Sebring races at some point after the license this year. Maybe HMS or PBIR but I doubt it for this season.

Im going to be running Super Touring Lite in SCCA which is somewhat similar to HC.

The official Jackstand racing organization. Should have 50 some odd events this year in my shop.

Actually, I hope to run a few track days and some time trials with my CRX, but I doubt the GT3 will be finished until next year.

Nowhere ... The race track in my area was taken down to make way for city landfill and waste disposal.

NASA Honda Challenge H2 in Northeast because of car counts. Trying to beat Jonathan Baker this year. He's fast and I get better when I race against him and the other H2 drivers in the NE.
NASA Honda Challenge H1 in the Mid Atlantic with the new H1 Type R. Fun to see how I stack up against the H1 guys.
Maybe even try an SCCA event if I get a wild hair somewhere.
NASA Nationals again this year. Hopefully my car will stay together this year.

I'll mainly be running with Washington D.C. Region, Autocrossers Incorporated, National Capital Chapter BMWCCA, and Capital Driving Club. Occasional National Capital Corvette Club and Chesapeake/Potomac PCA.

Hopefully I can make it out to some Mid-Atlantic area Tour/Pro events and somehow manage to make it to Nationals..

Lots of plans for the car... but now it just sits in the garage waiting for me to get to it. I've been too busy with work and family, but I need to get it out this year.



I don't think I'll be back to HC. What on my list for this year are a few private track days, Lemon, Chump, and maybe PT or TT with NASA Midwest just to have fun.

Going to try to beat 914Racer in the Jackstand league. I know he's pretty quick but I have JDM jackstand so I might try dorifto under him while he checks his side mirrors.

Weight with me in it as it stands will be 2575....215WHP 185 TQ...it has weighed 2450 at one point with a driver 20 pounds lighter than me. It is a very nice car JM...I won't be going 1:47 at sears in it this year have to get up to speed at that track. My goals are 1:52 at Sears and 1:57 at T-hill (1:58.5 with Toyos). The car could make a ton more power as well, as it is not built to the hilt for H1 even. I think it's possible to get 240/190+ out of a fully built H22. No one has done it yet. Maybe I'll be the first for H1 nats when they return to Miller!

Quite busy preparing..
