peterswarts Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 My car has been in pieces since after Watkins Glen last October. If I don't get out for Summit Point next month, then I won't be going to Nats. Watkins Glen at the end of September would be my next target. Bad couple of years.

GI8U2racing Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 It's discouraging that only two guys from west of the Missisippi are coming out for all of HC, and they are the series director and the reigning Nat'l champ. Why are people not coming out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmeris Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 It's discouraging that only two guys from west of the Missisippi are coming out for all of HC, and they are the series director and the reigning Nat'l champ. Why are people not coming out? That's one more racer from the opposite coast this year compared to 2009 and 2010. I believe Erik Olson was the lone east coaster to make the trip BOTH years to Miller Motorsports Park Surprised to see Coats not going to defend his title. Sadly, year to year, there's been an overall decrease in regional races and national championship attendance with no sign of new racers nor old racers joining. The future looks bleak for Honda Challenge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The future looks bleak for Honda Challenge. I'm new this year! I think there are a couple other new people too. I'm just hoping there are a few more people who sign up...It's tough to blame people from out west for not wanting to make the trip, it's an expensive tow for sure. But, they just have to win 1st place! $3k would cover that tow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidsherman64 Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 No worries on us folks West of Mississippi - if all goes well, I'll be coming in from Montana running HC2. I'll be running in my home region (Utah) and Rocky Mountain (HPR) to get my qualification points in. Getting a late start but will hopefully get everything lined up...

jmeris Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Surprised to see reigning 2011 H2 champ Manny Coats and So Cal HC group leader Benny P. NOT on the registered list. Are they coming afterall? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they coming afterall? When I talked with Jeremy a couple days ago he said Manny blew his engine in April and it wasn't looking good for him to get out to Nationals this year... Jonathan, how is your car coming along? You gonna have sleepless nights the week prior getting the car ready? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You gonna have sleepless nights the week prior getting the car ready? You know me too well!! Except for it won't only be the week prior. Between work, my daughter's school/soccer/gymnastics/swimming and karting, my sleepless nights have already begun!! August is going to be a short month!! (or long depending how you look at it) It's July 26th. Car is currently at the paint shop. When I get it back, gonna start assembly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chad Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 was going to go but they won't allow me to run half a traction bar to keep the car in alignment..... i'm not racing with a side 3/4 of an inch back!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you sure, that side's lower control arm isn't bent?? If the traction bar that's attached to the front of the side rail is pulling your lower control arm forward, that mean the frame/chassis isn't bent, but something in your suspension is.

Agreed, no way that it could move 3/4" forward with a traction bar yanking on it with the front and rear LCA bolts in place. Hint: if you need to get that side forward, wallow out the front and rear holes for the LCA, rotate it, then clamp it down, and spot weld the bolts in place. You're not getting out that easily. And c'mon Chad "they" have had the rule against traction bars for years, try another excuse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

speedengineer Posted July 31, 2012 Author Share Posted July 31, 2012 Looks like Chad signed up! At least someone named Chad did. Now there are 9 cars listed for H1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear another car will be registering soon in H1 if he already hasn't. So it should be 10 cars in H1....provided no one withdraws or switches classes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I just put the new shocks on the H2 car (alignment tomorrow) and if I get the sorting process started and run halfway decent in NJ this weekend I will probably switch to H2. Apologies to the H1 guys if I bail on you (speedeng). H1 has been next to dead in the NE for so long I got tired of waiting until nationals for in class competition. I've already had a couple of great races in H2 on the stock suspension! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
00integravtecgsr Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 I'd like to go race H1 but there are a few reasons preventing me. 1. money (been an expensive year getting prep'd and safety) 2. Still on my rookie license with 3 races and 1 TT 3. Vacation time. I think I'm pretty well used up most of it. But I would still like to go and working on it. Hopefully I will be able to make it. - Kris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
