Here's why this session was fun -
1) This is my 2nd race in SCCA ITE class. It kinda sucks being in with Vipers, the big porsches & 400+hp mustangs, but oh well.

2) HONDA RELIABILITY!!! I took 3rd because with 100+ temperatures & new track asphalt, 3 other cars broke. I went neck-to-neck with a 944 S2 for 8 laps before spinning (19 min mark on video) then caught him on the next lap - he thought I was done I turned 126,000 miles during qualifying on Sunday!

3) GRANSPORT PADS - They never faded. I ran ATE with autozone rotors & bled before the race. The only chance I had to keep up was by outbraking the 944 S2. It's REALLY obvious I was hammering those pads & they worked great. 2 Race weekends + the ITRCA.com EXPO weekend & there is still ~70% pad left! THANK YOU CARL - http://www.TRACRACING.com

4) Hooooooooosiers - Thanks Jimmy - the hoosiers definately helped me keep up with the 944. I wish I had lap times with the RA1's so I knew how much, but props to having a great friend.

Enjoy the spiiiiiiiin & recovery WHOOOOHOOOOO!

Jeff, is this the Vid you referred to in the other Vid posting you made on here? BTW, I'm DLing now. Can't wait to see this.

This is the one I wanted you to see. I posted the same thing on HT, 'cause some of the newbees might enjoy.

Gotcha, I'll check it out here in a few.

Great video and nice recovery! I've always enjoyed your Expo videos; clear, full length, professional driving and plenty of engine to the ears Looks like a lot of fun!

I don't know about "professional" - hehehe

Thanks for the compliments. I still haven't taken the tanabe racing medallion exhaust off, but I've always loved the noise

Thats good stuff.

I've got an exhaust you should try.

hey BudMan what did you do to improve the shifting of your car besides a clutch?

Finally got around to watching the big file.. Very nice!

But it looks like you're getting old and slower

Clutchmasters stage 3 clutch/pp/flywheel combo. Other than that, I've replaced the main shaft bearing when it exploded on the way home from expo 4.

stock gears
stock final drive (yea - I've got an ats 4.9 in the garage not installed yet!)

126,000 miles on the motor & tranny.

btw - it was grinding 2nd to 3rd at expo 2...it still grinds when I'm racing, but not driving on the street. Yup -drove it to work last week

Nice work Jeff.
