-who isn't going to Hyperfest b/c there will be no need for crew, but will be going to SP the week before for the HPDE.</td></tr></table><span id='postcolor'>
No, i didn't call racing hondas rice... I just wondered if it's gonna be ONLY hondas, because i was thinking of racing too. That was my concern. As for drifting i want to see what it really looks like. Anyways, the only thing i was mentioning by rice was the show contest that included 4 categories for civics.
I guess SP is summit point, but what's HPDE??</td></tr></table><span id='postcolor'>
Sorry to be a bit hostile <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/blush.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':blush:'> I just hear so much bashing of Hondas that I think a lot of people around here fail to realize that if you go to an open track event there will be about 20 Hondas for every Nissan (and most are driven much better too). Ditto many club racing events. Granted, the ricer to racer ratio may be 200:1... but it still means there's a lot more Honda racers!
Yes, the racing will be only Hondas (it is part of an on-going race series in the mid-Atlantic). It is classed and spec'ed out to make for good competition. In any event, 1) you can't race w/ the Hondas; 2) I have a feeling you are not competition licensed by an appropriate sanctioning body; and 3) I have a feeling your car lacks the necessary safety features to race (full cage, fire suppression system, no air-bags, kill switch, etc.).
The drifting is a ?? for me too. I haven't heard if anyone is signed up yet (not that I haven't heard no one is... just haven't heard). No idea about the car show. It's probably b/c in show land, people like the have a shot at a trophy and since 50% of all cars would be Civic and 10% of all trophys could go to Civics, it only seems fair.
SP = Summit Point
HPDE = High Performance Driving Education event (see the thread so few have paid attention to in the meets section under "track day"). uuninja and I will be in attendance.
