Default World Challenge at VIR...

First thing is that it was sweet being right there in the middle of things at the Realtime camp. The crew were the coolest, and even let us come inside the work area and bug them to death with a shitload of questions. We stood there and talked to PD in between his practice stints for the longest time. Also mad props to Blake Fuller for allowing us to help him out as helpers on his pitcrew; I enjoyed keeping his kaa klean . 25th place

Congratulations to Fred Meyer with his retirement. I've followed his career at Realtime since he started. Fred also chatted with us for a while and was able to ask the crew if we could have the damaged parts off of Pierre's Integra. The guy from DC, it was nice meeting you. Another thanx to PD for giving me the damaged fender from Pierre's car, he is such a class act and it shows.

A few pics, more to come this weekend.

I was suprised Hugh Plumb was the driver of the RSX. I thought him and Pierre didn't get along...

Right now it's sitting in the corner of my living room. I'm not sure what I'm going to do with it, I guess I'll just leave it there. Too bad I didn't get to go back Sunday and watch the race

Yea, I wish I would have gotten it signed. It had a ton of mud on it, so I was afraid if I had it signed it would get washed off when I took it to a carwash and cleaned it off. Oh well, there's always next year...

Plus, I got my brochure signed so that makes up for it.

I would want to frame that....would be a big deep frame...but I think that it would look totally awesome. Something to go in an office or library or something like that.

Care to explain why it is PD instead of PC?

Hopefully PD can convince Honda to not crush the Integra's after their final race and send Pierre's rolled Integra to the Twin Ring Motegi Museum and keep the others as showroom eye candy.

A few more pics...

me and hunter joke about the H-T stickers.. we say vtec.net on there and we wanted to represent for HT. oh and cunningham browses HT once in a while but hes not registered. we told him he needs to.
