Default A Lap Around VIR
Okay, here are some highlights of my trip to Virginia International Raceway this past weekend. A few points to keep in mind:

#1: Car has less than 70hp
#2: Just a few suspension mods and some sticky tires
#3: Sound quality sux cause I only have a mono input on my sound card.
#4: I had a lot of fun, but could have had more with a little itty bit more power.

Disclaimer: It is more exciting watching paint drying.

Yes, and I forgot to mention that the tranny is not geared right for this sort of thing either. I ran most of Saturday in 3rd gear the whole track.

Actually, the car never saw 4th or 5th the whole weekend. I was in 3rd most of the time with the ocassional visit to 2nd for some added momentum which actually did nothing but make a lot of noise.

Correct, BUT, you cannot do any real engine work so HP levels should be stock. They do DYNO tests to keep everyone legal.

Not really, other classes have HP/Weight rules, but not the HC series.
