Just got back from the Super Comp School at VIR. I am ready and able to go racing with you guys in H1 this year. Hope to have fun and NOT do anything stupid in April. Any Ideas how to make my CRX faster off the line?

Congrats. Which car were you in? I was there for the Instructor Clinic - I was swapping between the white Caprice and the grey RX-7.

 

I was driving a Black 88 CRX.

 

 

Congrats... I am 90% sure I won't be going to CMP this year though..

 

I'm questionable for CMP as well. Long trip, need to burn 2 vacation days, and I may have to work that weekend for a software deployment.

Glad to see you're in H1, not H4. You passed my Red Civic Si after Oak Tree, and took off down the back straight like I was nailed to the track. I was thinking, "If he's in H4, it's gonna be a long year for me."

 

Congratulations.

 

I gotta see if i can haul the car up to Kearney between now and then....

 

Great news, we are looking forward to having you with us!!!

No, nothing you could do will make it faster. It is as fast as it will ever be, so just deal with it.

What are you running in it?

I have a ls/vtec in it . My starts in the car suck. Need to find out how to put the power down without the wheel hop. I was spinning the tires in the wet in third gear.

 

Nice chatting with you outside the classroom... Looking forward to seeing you at the races. May Murphy turn his tail and run from your general direction this season.

 

Yeah, and run from Karl too...

 

*Failed*

I pulled a Chad and spent most of my sessions in the mire...sometimes at 100+mph heading into concrete walls....

yah...i think i need to get used to the car

 

1.Get rid of the extra weight!
2.Spend $1200 and get 1 4.93 final drive. Aw, c'mon, that kid don'to eat so much!!
3.Learn the exact rpm that your car needs to launch with " just enough, but not too much" wheelspin...in different humidity/temperature conditions.
4.Get rid of the muffler and exit exhaust under car with a turndown 45 degrees to the right.
5.Have fun and god luck, buddy! Cover your ***...

Hey man, does that hurt you at a track like LMS where its bouncing off the wall right back at sound? Seems like it would be louder than if you turned down under the car.

I am very eager to see how quiet we are on Saturday (new pipe/muffler) after my 106s at RA in November

 

open exhaust SUCKS at any track!!! period!!!

 

Adam,
LMS with the SCCA sound police may be a toss up. I always carry a mildly muffled
"backup gun" wherever I go.
Chad, it may suck, but the dyno shows it blows ( better )

Wildman are you going to CMP in April? Maybe I can sleep in your trailer. I think I will try to take the car to the drag strip and do some practice starts. I think the car makes enough power for now. Just need to get it to the ground in first gear.

 

you need to buy a progressive Nitrous controller cant unload a 125 shot in 1st w/o slicks

Or a ASGM....

 

I don't have NITROUS.... Who said I have NOS????? No nitrous here.... Please do not drill any holes in my cage there is nothing in there..but air.

 

man that would suck if you had a bottle hidden in the cage and it was drilled into for inspection...

 

Drag strip

Trust me!

Congrats! It will be good to have more CRXs in ECHC.

See you at CMP in April.

BTW, I thought your CRX looked fast this weekend. I was flagging from 4 on Saturday and from 11 on Sunday.

 

It works, ask Corey that drag racing stunna!
