This was the 2023 National Championship Runoffs race at VIR. Kevin jumped to 2nd on the first lap, then 1st on the second lap. He then led through lap nine by 3 seconds until a full course yellow came out. Once the faster top speed cars got in his draft he could not hold them off. First was Kannard, Second was IRA, and Kevin finished third. The car ran great, and Kevin drove an awesome race. Sheryl, Grandma, Carrie, Walter, Cora & Edwin all attended.

This was the Sunday race. We installed new Wilwood front brake pads and broke them in along with tempering another set of new front Hoosiers in qualifying. Once again Kevin led start to finish and finished 50 seconds in front of the 2nd place EP car of Loughman. The 2nd to 3rd shift was still a problem in the dog box but seemed to be getting better.

This was the Saturday race. Kevin beat the EP cars through turn one and never looked back. He won first overall by 41 seconds even though the 2nd to 3rd shift didn't want to always go in. It was a beautiful day, and the car ran great, but it was down a bit in horsepower.

This was the Sunday race on a beautiful day. Kevin started on overall pole, kept the EP cars behind him through the keyhole, then lead the rest of the race. He finished 17 seconds in front of Strittmatter in his Integra. The car ran very well, and Kevin drove great, to make it a boring race.

This was the Saturday race. Front right shaft popped out during qualifying, so Kevin started the race in 11th position. He got to 3rd quickly and stayed behind Loughman and Halkias in their EP cars until Halkias spun. Then in the last lap Kevin passed for the overall lead. We had Kevin's family, Andy's family, Sheryl, Grandma, and me all watching this exciting race on a beautiful day.

This was the Sunday 15 lap race. It poured rain from start to finish. Kevin was behind Charley the whole race but could not pass due to poor visibility from the huge water spray from the cars in front. In one lap, with no one in front of him, Kevin turned in the fastest lap by nearly 2 seconds. Starting position was very important in this race. Second place at this track, during a flood, with no damage to the car, is not bad.

This was the Saturday 11 lap race. Because of an overheating issue in qualifying, we started 5th. It took a while to get around 3rd & 4th and chase down the leaders. Kevin eventually caught Charley but dropped a tire off the track which put him back into 3rd in class behind Charley Campbell and David Strittmatter.

Wednesday Kevin drove off of Hog Pen corner and damaged the splitter and the left rear trailing arm bearing but managed a slightly faster time of 2:08.089, but many others went faster. Thursday was a bust session due to double yellows. After cutting intermediate tires and other fixes we went out for the race on Sunday in a misty rain. Kevin jumped to 2nd quickly, then passed Charley Campbell for 1st and led laps 7-14 before Eric Prill passed him on the last lap. We finished 2nd and Campbell 3rd.

This was the Sunday Hoosier Super Tour race. It was a very wet day that stopped raining just after we started. Kevin ended up on pole since Chima started at the back. We had on rain tires and blasted to a huge lead. After a full course yellow bunched everyone back up, and the course was drying, Kevin fought hard to stay in the lead in front of Campbell who finished second in his Miata. Third was Mason Workman in his Miata, and fourth was Stritmatter in another Integra.

Kevin only got one fast lap in qualifying due to a long double yellow and due to oil spraying around the engine bay. This was a 20 min qualifying race. Kevin started third and fell back quite a ways to the two Miatas in 1st & 2nd. On lap four he drove past them both on the straight like they were standing still. He drove away from them and finished way out in front in overall first.

It rained all morning so we did not go out until the 2pm session. In that session the radiator fan broke and punctured the radiator which put us out for the rest of the day. That night we JB Welded the radiator so we could race the next day.

We started the race in 4th on a rainy day and blasted to the lead. Several cautions brought the rest of the pack back close to Kevin. After a dozen laps leading the race, it stopped raining and the track dried up. Kevin was then passed by the only two cars on the track with dry tires. He struggled to keep the car on the track with the front tires pretty much gone away. We finished 3rd but were moved to second after the 2nd place car was disqualified. That made for an all HONDA podium. We picked the wrong tires but still ran a great race. First was Ira in a Del Sol, and 3rd was Harris in our old Integra. Edit: We found later that both front camber adjusters were not tightened sufficiently so they both slipped to full negative, which was most of the problem in the last half of the race.

It didnt take Kevin long to get up to 2nd place behind a GT2 car driven by Scott Reddich that was placed in our run group due to too few entries in his run group. Second in FP was Larry Gallagher and 3rd was Scott Mackela in a Honda CRX. This was only the second race on this engine which ran extremely well.

He took more than a half second off the record. Unfortunately we had a front left tire go down on lap 8 to put us out of the race while way out in front.

Kevin started on pole and lead most of the race until a Bspec car pulled out and blocked him which let Chima get a run to make the pass. We had issues with the alternator wire coming loose and shutting off the Infinity EMS, and the car was not set up well enough to handle the new tires yet. He did manage to finish second with these issues behind Chima and in front of Bednarz. Diane, Sheryl, Carrie & kids along with grandson Drew with his friend Peyton all came to watch the race on a beautiful day.

He could have broken the track record on the Pro course but there were a couple spots on the track that were still slippery due to being oiled down earlier in the weekend.

That left John Walker(Lotus) in 1st, Eric Prill(Miata) in 2nd, and Charlie Campbell(Miata) in 3rd. 5th was Peter Morton (Lotus), and 6th was Sam Henry (Miata).

Kevin blasted to the front immediately and was driving away when he dropped 2 wheels off at the keyhole on the 5th lap. That put crap on the tires which send him off at the end of the straight. From back in 5th he battled back to 2nd but went off again when it rained hard for just about 1 minute. He battled back again and regained the lead in the 18th lap for the win. 2nd was Campbell and 3rd was Workman both in their Miata. By the way, on the 17th lap while Kevin was chasing Campbell he set a new track record on the Pro course by .004 seconds. The entire family was there to see this epic race.

They were not the best as the car still hydroplaned in places. The worst was visibility. Kevin jumped to first immediately and led almost the entire race with Charlie Campbell close behind. Eric Prill ran off the track on the first lap. When they caught lappers Kevin backed off rather than to hit someone he could not see and finished 2nd. First was Campbell in his Miata and 3rd was Workman who was over a minute back.

We turned a couple laps below the track record in the cool-ish morning warm up session but couldn't match that when it hit near 100 degrees at race time. Kevin stayed with Eric for several laps but knew even if he could get close he wouldn't be able to make a pass. So it was Prill, Ruck, and Hingston again. Kevin and Eric finished in front of everyone.

The car ran hot and was low on horsepower, and we were late to grid so we started the race dead last. Kevin ran great and blasted all the way up to 3rd overall but could not catch up with Prill in his Miata. Third was Hingston who finished well behind Kevin.

Even though Kevin turned in the fastest FP lap by a half second he finished in second place. After falling to second at the start on cold tires, he passed Hingston on the third lap and just drove away from him. Then a Lotus blew and engine which brought out a double yellow which allowed Hingston to catch back up and for the tires to cool off. Hingston only did one turn well and it was turn one. Once he got around Kevin there was not enough time to get heat back in the tires to regain the lead. In impound Hingston and his Miata were found under weight three times after calibrating the scales twice, and was still handed the win?!? I guess things are done differently in Texas.

The track was a lot slower than in the past as it was quite bumpy and the huge amount of rain lately washed any grip away. Kevin qualified in the FP pole with a 1:56.046. It started raining at the start of the race and was on and off through the whole race. Kevin fell to 2nd in class behind Bill Hingston in his Miata 3 times but prevailed to take the win.

This was a test day we did at NOLA so Kevin could get the feel of this new track for us before we race on Saturday and Sunday and so we could make sure the car was good after not having been run since last May. The day started at 36 degrees and very windy - pretty bad. As it turned out we missed the first session because the car barely ran at idle. After blaming the AEM ECU for a while we found that the fuel pump had died. After replacing it with the spare the engine ran great but the right front of the car jumped and bounced. We found that the right front Koni shock had lost the seal on the gas section. After working on it for quite a while we missed the third session but made the fourth and tempered some new Hoosier tires. It was still not great but probably drivable. We made some more changes to the shock, set the toe in, fueled her up and it was ready for qualifying in the morning.

However, the transmission started popping out of gear early in the race and at the end of the race did not want to go back in gear. First was Carpenter and second was Prill.

Kevin led the entire race. Second in FP was Rob Futcher in his Lotus Super 7, and third was Dave Strittmatter in his Lancia Scorpian. They tried to penalize Kevin 3 positions for passing under yellow, but our in-car cameras saved us again by proving he did not. Kevin also set the track record.

Once his tires heated up Kevin was being held up by Martz in an EP RX7 even though he was no where near any of the other EP cars. Kevin went to pass and Martz turned into him and they both spun. Kevin got back on track 3rd in FP. He reeled in and passed Strittmatter for the lead but spun again in turn 11 because of buildup on the rear tires due to driving off line to pass. He restarted and still finished 2nd. Third was Workman. Martz protested Kevin but luckily we had our in car camera which showed Kevin did nothing wrong.

Mid way through the race we saw an electrical drain and turned off all non-essentials but it was not enough to finish the 23 laps. About 500 feet short of the checker flag the car died and let everyone catch up and pass. We finished 4th because we had lapped all the others.

He managed to finish the race and hold on to second place. Ken Kannard took first, and Austin Britton took third in his Lotus Super 7.

Dick was faster in the corners and braking but could not stay with the Mustang in the straights. John Walker caught up and made a great pass to go to first and drove away from the Mustang in the corners. In the 9th lap Dick overlapped the throttle with his foot under hard braking in the keyhole and hit the Mustang hard. Dick went to the hospital for x-rays to a sore back and bruised ribs.

After his father crashed the FProd car and went to the hospital for a safety check, Kev had to get the car ready by himself and race in the next run group. Kevin not only won the race but broke the track record on three different laps. He has been trying to take a Mid Ohio record away from Joey Moser for years and finally did it.

In the race, while making a pass into the lead, Kevin was hit and spun off the track, fell back to 9th place, worked his way all the way back to 3rd, and finished 5th due to front tires going away from misalignment from the impact. First was Carpenter (Integra 2:34.560), second was Harris (Miata 2:34.716), and third was Prill (Lotus S7 2.34.846). The fastest lap was Bryson (Miata 2.34.051) who fell out after 4 laps.

Bill Schley in his CRX finished first but was 12 lbs underweight and was DQed. That moved Dick to 1st, Martin Wiedenhoeft in his Miata to 2nd, and Jarod Cromas to 3rd in his Integra. Dave & Julie Nusbaum, and Dede & Sheryl were there. Dennis Delaney and Adam Ruck crewed.

The most significant change was the re-installation of the power steering system which the clarified rules stated must be left in the car. That forced a new Hi-Tech header and some additional ECU tuning. Kevin took the pole and won the race easily. It was an uneventful race except when Kevin kissed the wall before the straight.

With a freshened engine, new aluminum crank pulley, new Hi-Tech header, new ECU program, and over 150 pounds lighter, the Prelude was faster and more nimble than in years past.

He caught Ho on the 5th lap and took first. Trying to find his way through a sea of Miatas, he was hit several times before being spun in turn one by a driver in a rental Miata in the last lap. After he got going again he was in 2nd place.

Dick drove the Prelude in run group 4 along with GT1-3, EB, AS, ITE, T1. He finally started to get the feel of the Prelude after not driving it for a year and turned in an OK qualifying time. In the race he had to brake at the start to keep from hitting a Camaro that spun which cost him a dozen places. He ran a good race and made up all the lost places and many more.

At the start of the race, he got the jump on the Honda R&D VTEC Prelude and kept him behind him until he got through the esses. After that Kevin was gone. He lapped every other car in the Honda Challenge race except 2 cars. This was our first race on new Team Dynamics wheels and new Kumho tires.

This was Dick's first race in a NASA Honda Challenge race. We modified the CX to essentially make it into a DX Civic which is legal in NASA. Only 9 of the 20 or so cars entered stayed for the race on Sunday after the massive snowfall on Saturday. Dick ran in H4 with Kevin instead of H5 because he would have had to add 225 pounds to run in H5. Dick started in 2nd, spun out all the way to the back, worked his way back up to 3rd, spun out again, and worked his way back up some before the race was stopped after just 10 laps. It was horrible race conditions with dry spots, snowy spots, and rivers of water running across the track.

Kevin raced the old Civic S for the first time in several years and had great fun. He qualified behind Meg Meyers in her ?Civic? and started right behind her in the race. He had to brake to stop from hitting her in the corners but she would blast away from him in the straights - literally - she could put 10 cars lengths between her and Kevin on one straight if she wanted to. We have driven this car against the best ITC cars in the country and no one has ever been able to pull our Civic like that. It appeared that she drove just fast enough to keep Kevin in her rear view mirror.......things haven't changed for Meg & the cars her father builds for her.
