Civic of Doom: Honda Challenge Recycling

[Kaan]

Kaan, you're a beast.  you're making progress every time, and whether you want to be or not, you're going to be a huge inspiration for a lot of guys wanting to make the jump into racing.  this is the spirit of racing - press on regardless

There are two types of setbacks that I see with the race car:

1. catastrophic broken stuff (or the threat of it, example: my heavily leaking transmission for sundays race)... this stuff I wont go out on. The risk to an expensive transmission, potential oil dry bill, potential of screwing someone else with wetting down the track... none of this is worth it.

2. set backs (hood/windshield/etc): this is stuff that isn't 100% and will impact your lap times... I'm going out if I'm allowed and I'm going to do my best.

This is the video from the Accord Wagon I was dueling with... parachute effect + his H22 made my life TOUGH but I learned several things... I'm very conservative still; I checked up too much when Bradfield was pulling his white ITR back on track and it allowed Hunter (Wagon slayer) to power around me; I needed better timing on my "pushes" to make him over drive areas I know I'm faster; I was able to catch back up to him several times when traffic got in the way... I need to keep that pace up all the time, I need to keep that fire in the belly to push.
