Great to see the enthusiasm on the other thread! Please help us get a head count on who will be or might be participating. For license, I am thinking SCCA, NASA or Conference. Race car = a car meeting the minimum safety requirements/rules of ECHC/NASA. http://www.honda-challenge for ECHC. http://www.nasaproracing for NASA. Follow links for rules.
Thanks.

Just out of curiosity, how is the Honda scene on the west coast in terms of HPDE and racing? Over here on the better coast (and more specifically the Mid-Atlantic), there was a high concentration of Honda HPDE participants who, with some gentle nudging, decided to race. That, along with the popularity of IT in the MARRS and SARRC series, made for pretty good fields.

The Honda scene is the West Coast! Plenty of HPDE'rs. Honestly, a bunch still haven't seen the light. ie street racing.

All you left coast **** build dat chit and get it ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!


WCHC at Laguna would rock serious nads.

.RJ

Would definately travel to watch.........

Dragon

Then it really would be "Just like Gran Turismo".

I'm hoping there will be a class for me to run in. An ex-WC car seems to be more modified than what I see in typical NASA race cars, mainly from a chassis standpoint. I hope the classes allow for this type of situation. Is there an "ITE" style class?

Austin

With the current sound requirements it would be out of reach...if a stock Type-R with an AEM installed(making it no longer stock) can exceed the dB limit on certain days, just imagine your "race" car(and I know that some are rather quite).

Sears Point/Infineon Raceway would be nice, Thunderhill, Buttonwillow, Streets of Willow....just thinking about NorCal and SoCal at the moment.

We'll be working on getting all the information regarding car classes and requirements... We still have a lot to learn as well.

SCCA IT, RS and GT should be able to find a class.

RR98ITR

H1 or HU.

Scott, who's got the same problem.....and it's getting worse.

civicrr

There has been some rumors of HU dropped in some threads. We will have to see what ECHC does.

will run a race on the West Coast with you boys, like I promised...

Thanks Cory!

well, im building my car, and saving money to get the license. i will for sure travel anywhere on the west coast.

Don't know about the extreme west coast but when I lived in Tempe, AZ the road race scene was weak. At the NASA and ASRA events there would be between 0 and 2 Hondas in the race classes and maybe 3 or 4 in the HPDEs. Most all the Honda guys were slow as molasses. The majority of the Honda people were into drag racing (legally or otherwise) or the show thing. I was really surprised at how many Hondas were at the first HPDE I ran on the east coast at CMP (and that was a tiny event).

Neither licensed nor do I have a car, but I am planning to buy one this winter. I was looking into an IT car or possibly Pro7 but a WCHC would be more fun.

There are hardly any Hondas/Acuras at HPDE that I attend but there seem to be a lot of them autocrossing.

Driven

so, i have a '90 CRX HF with a B16A...

is the car een eligible? do I run in H6 (89-91 HFs) or H4 (1.6L CRXs NOC)...or H1 (hybrids) where i get to run with s2000s and NSXs.

johng

Hey Craig. Found a car for you... https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=312285

H1

and so far there havent been any NSX/S2000 participants

Brian

Driven

yeah... just read up on it.

maybe there's more NSX/S2000 folk in cali who are willing to race?

civicrr

Man, that is a great deal. My wife would kill me.

Tommy O. is also (SVWC driver) is selling his CRX too. It has a good cage, a Quaife & a IT spec motor, etc. It is sitting up @ AIM. I think it included a spares package too.

Black96Cobra

I've been eyeing that car, believe me. Getting it here might be an issue as I don't have a trailer yet but that's a minor issue really.

Just gotta get the money scraped together. I'm selling all my track stuff for the Mustang at this point to raise money for the car. Hopefully it won't go anywhere.

Edit: Looks like it's sold.

if my "race" car is not fully prepped, like not all saftey requirements including roll cage, can i still race? or will i just have to run HPDE?

civicrr

sorry. the car must have all the safety equipment for w 2 w racing. this would include the driver's gear.
