not to knock any car or driver. bringing the "right"car for the class makes a huge difference.i got my license in 99 in a ITA MR2 and i ran 28th out of 30 with 2cars dnf'ing.1 1/2 years latter i bought a ITA corolla gts. immediatly i was top 10. now comes the integra and i can contend for wins.yeah i have been driving for 6 years but the car has made the most difference.i am sure i can develop the corolla further but its alot of work, time and money.as a comparison if the integra was ITS it would not be the car to have. so your driving might not have anything to do with it.

With all do respect Rick, doesn't that hint that something is not right. While I agree that the MR2 is not the right car to have because it is more of an ITB+.5 or ITA-.5 (tweener), the Integra is the car to have because it has been classed too favorably. That is why I said that I thought Greg would have a tough time...because like the Z3 his car has been newly classed. Until the Integra/Hondas go through the "process" anyone can buy one and "be up there". Look at Geoff Branscombe. I went to school with him at NHIS. No motor, no suspension...just trying to get his license... and he was pretty slow. A couple of months later....Anthony does his motor and I can't touch the kid. Now my question is did he improve enough to warrant that....probably not. I ran 12 weekends this year plus test days. He ran (I think) 4. If the cars were classed more respectably then the driving WOULD matter, and would have EVERYTHING to do with it. I agree that Honduras are good cars but they gotta go through the process to level the playing field so we can talk apples to apples.
