My son drove the DA at Super Street FF Battle this year. The car had a few problems and I feel lucky it was running at the end of the event. Originally we planned to supercharge a B16 and slap it in, but shortly before the event decided to switch to a K24. Dumb idea. A little too ambitious for the time available. BTW, thanks Loi Song from Sportcar Motion for lending me an axle so I could use it to rebuild the DA's axle. This kept the weekend from being a total loss. We've won that event in the past and with some more development the DA can win too. A bunch more development.

The B18C powered CRX was loaned to Oscar Jackson Jr. for the SCCA National Runoffs. He ran it in STL. I wish I could say that was a success, and it was sort of. Oscar Sr. did a phenomenal job of setting the car up for Daytona. Carefully balancing the car to handle both the high speed oval and slower infield to give his son a car that could do the job. Unfortunately, he was taken out by a competitor who was driving too fast to make a corner. It looked like he tried to use Jr.'s CRX to scrub speed but wound up taking the CRX and his own car out. Oscar Jr. was in second at the time. Bummer. We will continue to develop the CRX over the next year and see if we can do better at the next Runoffs.

After tuning on the dyno at Xact Dyno, the J35 powered Civic will debut this weekend at an IFO event. It's been fun building this one because it is so different from any other projects. I'm hoping for smoother sailing than the last two builds. This car will serve as a learning platform for not only drag racing but J-series performance development. Will this car work in some class, or just be used in some sort of index class? Shall we go nitrous, supercharger, turbo? Stay tuned and we'll see.
