After spending a day at the track.... - Honda Forum / Acura Forum

Today I went to the track with my friend. I was rather disappointed at the fact that people didn't know how to drive their cars!

I mean, there were too many hatchbacks/CRXs/coupes that looked pretty cool but the drivers suck!!!! Carbon fiber hoods, big wings, slammed suspensions, big 20 inch rim (not really, but close), etc.. None of them had the time to back themselves up!!!!! I didn't see anyone reach low 16 seconds! Just a little contrary, I saw 2 hatchbacks ran 13s.......

Point being, why can't anyone drive! I feel embarrassed!!!! Wouldn't YOU?!?!

Please input...

Did you run? Or were you just a spectator?

Maybe thier cars were just slow.

Where can you race at a track in Feb? I wished I lived there. In Portland and Medford, Oregon, Tuners are running 12's to 16's. It's seems like 80% cashflow and 20% driver.

Yeah!!! Did you run or not???

If not I wouldn't talk too much smack, cause you don't know what you would have run...Could have been a SLOOOOOOWWWWW track!!!

I ran a 16.5 in my stock 95EX...

However, the last time I was there, I ran a 15.2xx with just I/H/E/short throw shifter.

Now I have upgraded flywheel and clutch. I know for sure, I am a lot faster than 15.2xx...

It's all...

which track did you go to... cos I went to Rockfalls in wisconsin over the summer... and there were some pretty good runs.... this CRX broke 11s and my cousin would've broke 11s... but his alternator was fucked... but then again there were a couple RX-7s and S2000s that were quite dissapointing.

As soon as vthokie decides if hes selling his car in May or not....

If he doesn't and ends up keeping the motor, then I will be doing somethng else drastic

I don't remember my eighth mile time, but I remember that I ran a 2.1xx time. Since then I haven't been able to hit near that. I average at 2.251 or something like that.

What about you?!
