Civic of Doom: Honda Challenge Recycling

[Kaan]

I was in HPDE 3... and they are cracking down. You can no longer "bump" to HPDE4 without being an instructor. AND they now have someone overseeing the HPDE3 group. After the first session they kicked 5 people back to group 2.

There was a high level of shaming going on... They openly call you out in meetings (we only had 2 or 3) and they send out "spy" cars. There are still two people in HPDE3 that I have spent time with in 1&2... and they are pricks with horse power.

There is such a spread of cars, driving talent, etc. in HPDE3 that a clean lap is impossible. BUT I know clean laps are rare in racing or TT... I just know I don't have to wait for a point by on the areas I know I'm faster.

There is a lot left in the car. The front was bouncing a little, the brakes/tires had a little more than I was willing to beat on them with the people I had around me... I need to try to adjust the rear shocks too. They were great "slow" and "fast" but intermediate and transitions it felt pretty snappy.
