ITB class, accords still winning!

[paul]

Was reading through sports car mag, came across Dan Keane winning the 2009 road race of champions, ITB class in a 3G (Feb, pg.30)

Searched for more class runners and came across 2 more guys who still race there accords (Scroll down to "ITB"), sponsored by a shop called kbr performance...

Very cool seeing these cars still being raced successfully, as opposed to the usual ITB cars (e.g. crx, gti/golf)! :thumbup:

EDIT: found a old ad for a ITB accord, thought not the same car as above: http://www.honda-tech.com/showthread.php?t=1460362 :bow:

That hatch is D_Loper's car. I think that's his screen name here. That car no longer exists, but last I heard, he was building another.

Do take note that in that first picture, there's another 3gee in the back.

Because these cars are set up so well from the factory, they're somewhat popular as race cars. I hope to be running my 88 coupe in the GRM $2010 Challenge. I want to build it to compete in the $1000 or less category. I think it will do really well. I just need to build a team for it.
