Why not come to the race track?

[Professor X]

I am interested in coming to the track, however my engine is on the stand at the moment. If this needs to be moved, please let me know and I'll gladly do so. I am not interested in getting another car or competing, only having fun. With that out of the way, I have a 1994 Acura Integra with a b18c1 swap. I have never road raced or autocrossed but I have attended a few events and I have no problem appreciating the balance of these cars. That being said, my initial plans were to build a low-compression turbo motor to make approximately 300-350whp daily. As time has gone by, I believe I would have more fun with half of that power on a track with a balanced car. I guess my question is, should I even bother spending money on building an engine at this time, or rebuild stock and come out and learn from there? Thanks

Most of the people in this thread are missing the one factor that rises above; COMMITMENT.

Keep telling yourself that.

Why don't you put your "car control skills" up against the best autox'ers....at Nationals. Put up a top finish, then you can come in here and telk ****. Until then, peddle the BS elsewhere.

Blah Blah Blah....

Your autox skills don't pay the Bills when you are in WFO coming under the bridge at Road Atlanta and the 600whp GT2 you are driving lights the tires. When it gets loose on the exit of 12 and you have to drive it through the grass where do you think your autox skills are going to land you.

The problem I have with Autoxers is that they seem to think that just because they have got a National Championship under their belts that they are the greatest thing since sliced bread.

For the record I have been on track with plenty of autox champions and I've yet to find one that I was truly amazed by...which is not to say that there aren't some amazing drivers out there that autox.

When you want to chase me around the track you just let me know.

^I want to chase you around the track (not a autocross champion but...lol)

As for the poster up top, no need for CRAZY mods to get into road racing and autocross. But I would say 350whp is going to be a handful for a new driver.

And as EJ said commitment seperates these people

Perfect opportunity for you guys to hit the track. Thats a really good price and for a good cause.

Haha. I'm not sure about that. A bunch of crazy people competing for a measly $$ in their street cars. Sounds like there won't be much track/learning time.

I'd suggest coming out to a NASA weekend even or a BMW club event. You don't need a BMW. You can get instructor rides and check out the class room sessions.

This goes for anyone interested. PM me if you want to check out the race track. For example, I have a two day with Chin November 29th-30th and can take you for a ride in my group at Road Atlanta. That'll def. convince you to come out to the track.
