Can you tell I can't wait until the next COTW? So I went and did it, just couldn't wait. I didn't want to do anything to permanantly
damage enhance the old Honda so I bolted on a big ol turbo! Just to make sure everyone knew I meant business I painted her an even uglier shade of orange and installed a black wing and rims. I figured if I can't pass the opposition maybe I can scare them into wrecking when they see me coming. Hey, I am driving a 30+ year old Honda 4-banger so I will take whatever advantage I can find
What I ended up with was 147hp/410pp, still giving up 20pp for the seasonals. Out at the test track I posted these numbers:
1/4 mi / 15.766
1.0 mi / 39.671
0 - 60 / 7.424
to 100 / 17.953
max G / 0.49
max spd / 120.3
I cut nearly 4.2 seconds off my best lap at Deep Forrest with a lap of 1:35.847
So it was off to the seasonals! I was feeling to
cheap thrifty to spring $10K on a full custom tranny after I just spent $3mil on a couple of new race cars so I wasn't even going to try and hang with the pack at Daytona. There were still 4 other races however.
At Tsukuba I posted a best lap of 1:09.740 for a 3rd place finish, 3.5 seconds and two spots better than before. I got a win at Cape Ring with a lap of 2:02.047! At Cubman I got a disapointing 4th lapping at 1:07.599. I posted another podium, third again at Eifel Kart with a 1:09.067. Not too bad overall, besides, I earned about $1.3mil to help offset the cost of those new race cars. Speaking of new race cars...see ya!
