I though I'd do an update as I havn't done any write ups in a while.
Things are going good so far this year, I still have the points lead in my class though if the 2 national level cars keep coming that will go away quickly. I'm not too worried about it though, these are very fast purpose built racecars with lots of money invested in them.
My main competition is an 88 crx with about as many bolt-ons as me. He's been about a 1/2 sec a lap faster car than me but circumstances have been in my favor so far this year, thus my lead in points. Recently he made some changes to his car and is almost a full second faster than me, but I hope to hold him off in the points race. I'm going to give it my all!!
It's been trying the past couple weeks though, my exhaust finally decided to fall off so I had to replace it sooner than planned. While the car was on the rack getting the exhaust done I was looking things over and found both front tires were seperating from the belts. I'm guessing the negative camber had finally taken it's toll. Also I notice my clutch slave cylinder is leaking, but this is a cheap easy fix. I'm about due for a timing belt replacement now as well, so I've got my work cut out for me!!
Here's a couple pics from the last scca event:

I like the color of the car, it still has the original paint on it just faded somewhat. I'd given some though to the "Electron Blue" from the Corvettes because it's such a bada$$ color, but I don't know how well it would look on my car. For now it stays the way it is.
