Nice to finally meet you Phil Joel, Jeff and I had another great battle on Sunday and I barely squeaked by Joel for second. I posted a video from the some of the Sunday race action in this thread https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=543141

 

TWS.... ahh, my first track. Good stuff.

Good to meet you also...and nice vid

So on another slightly related topic -- is it true that to race a 5th gen prelude in ITS, you can use either an SH or a base model, but if you race a 4th gen, it has to be an Si (no VTEC or 4ws models)? I'll have to hijack a rulebook someday, but figured you guys would know.

Yes that is the current rule. Since they downgraded the 5th gen from T2 to SSB and it still not being all that competitive in stock form, I think they figured it was safe to also classify the 5th gen in ITS. The 4th gen VTEC never went through this downgrade process so its IT status is still in limbo. In Fast Track a couple months ago I read that they were again looking into possible classification for the 4th gen VTEC.
