This is painful for me to watch, but since I was willing to give Chis crap about his cute car, I can take the self-humiliation. Watch these. They are at least good for seeing the layout and the pavement changes:

B) [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vt2eFpTM1oI&feature=relmfu[/media]

Don't laugh too hard. I was driving a shitty car trying to prove everyone wrong. It was considered "cute" though. At least it wasn't white and front wheel drive though

I particularly love my taking out the line of finish cones in the lower video. What a fail. All for your entertainment and education for the event.

Lol, thanks - Active Suspension???

DRS? F-Duct? Active Aero? Analog/Random On/Off Swaybar Roll Stiffness? lol

Me thinks you guys are way too spoiled by having 4+ runs up North While I love the seat time, but it makes you lazy to go out and get it done in three runs. You guys should use the first three runs on your next events as a gauge. For BS, the goal is even higher Chase and Raw time SS

Noel,

Did you ever figure out what your car is puffing black smoke out the back at every launch?

Steve and Jadrice,

I switched to Mobil1 just before Dixie. I was using the OEM Honda stuff before with no problem.

I heard people say the S burns Monil1 for some strange reason. It is either that (what I really suspect), or I did notice that the oil dipstick was raised upwards by about 1/2". It was almost loose to the point that oil would come out, but not quite. I don't think that would be it, but what if air was getting in???

I was planning on doing a complete oil change and just leaving the filter since the car has less than 1,000 miles since the last oil change. Ideas?? I appreciate the attention to [my car's] big beautiful ass.
