Default Btec Places 2nd at 1st race

Shawn, better know as yeah LS, debuted his LS race car yesterday at the new CA Speedway infield roadcourse.

Congrats to your 2nd place

The sc00by should look familiar to the regular SCC readers


Going really fast down the front straight!


The trophy


Oh, I found that crazy honkay up to his high jinx - jajaja!


yoshi - who didn't get home till 1am last night

Congrats to yeah ls(Sandor Bota) for a job well done!

Oh yeah, Yoshi forgot to mention that including our cars there were about 7 ITR's there and 3 of em' were on the road course.

the sanctioning body was TCRA (www.touringcarclub.com). the NASA boys wanted to get in the mix and take advantage of a new track so they joined us. it was a lot of fun. last night i thought about it. i didnt have to go to USTCC or speedvision, they came to me! it was a blast driving against cars that compete at teh higher levels.

anway the b20 vtec is a beast. i have many bugs to work out tho, and with 2 year old track tires, i dont think the car did that bad. the wing wasnt on the car because parts werent ready from the anodizers

the track was pretty tight, hard to pass in the quick right-lefts and left-rights.

thanks to all who attended and supported:
M'gineering-Mario is a great member to the crew(thanks for the garage sat night)
the girlfriend- Dawnie kept me fed and watered I love you!
the highskoo homie-Aly carrot man gotta love him
the neighbor-Ruben has helped me out building this car
and all the yeah LS supporters:
brian an monica, yoshi and 234, fias, kelly and alison, athas, lloyd, rares and chrissy.

special thanks to RO JA Engineering for support and parts. STOPTECH brakes were awsome.

Congrats Shawn. I have to admit that I was underestimating the power and reliability of the "btec". I am going to have to do some weight reduction before the next event in December at Willow Springs -- though I don't think I can even come close to the btec weight

great job out there, dude... congrats on the 2nd place finish..

it was fun going out there with everyone else and watching..

woulda been lots more fun racing but we're not all that hardcore yet.. especially kelly.. (: haha.. jast kidding.. (nice puddle in front of "the carrot" in the pic, dude! )

anyhow.. looks like the last half of the ride home on the 10 went ok and glad to be part of the "escort" trying to block the noise outta the 'yeah LS'... haha

EDIT: Fixed tons o' typos.. cannot type today..

Default More pictures from the event...

All the h-techies who came out in support of "btec"


From the top...ITRbroham, Speedpak, Z06, GTS ACR, Yoshi234, M3 roadster (w/ funky rollbars) and AoiGSR


Ingenious & inexpensive camera mount.


Bota-san with the ready to go.


Getting through the turn where everyone and their moms went wide into the dirt. Shawn followed by a RHD 98+ spec ITR and Andy in the yellow ITR.


Shawn and Andy racing down the front straight.


It was a good race, I wished the car would have been free from glitches though I think even Andy had a little problem with one of his tire, valve stems broke making him miss a few practice laps. On to the next one

oh yeah, an ingenious way to jack up your low car



This is welded onto the roll cage. a "Y" shape is constructed and welded on. I am sure yoshi can provide a visual with this

fine, here's my rendition of the jack point on the Subaru.

Lets not forget the third place finisher, Dennis Suggs. Dennis runs a 92-93 Integra and is a damn good driver. He was right behind me for over half of the race. Luckily, I was able to lose him in lap traffic during the race -- and he managed to spin near the end (doh!) of the race.

Man, I didn't realize that I was such an ogre.




Andy, whose wife would probably **** if she saw this pic

do you have to have prior track time/experience to go to these kinda of events? or is it kinda like the itr expo thing where you have a teacher with you on the track.
