Skunk2 Needs a Reality Check

Over this past weekend I was reading S3 magazine. I think this was actually one of the first times that I actually sat down and read this particular magazine cover to cover and it was quite enjoyable. I did get to one part that irked me a good bit, Skunk2's new ad for their Billet Vtec Solenoid. The ad's text goes into a tangent on how Skunk2's products continue to get knocked off, copied, etc, etc. Blasting these so called "copycat" companies and trying to set Skunk2 up on a pedestal. In the past I thought this was good marketing...

We are currently seeing a resurgence of the small cars and technologically advanced engines. Some will say the cars we are seeing now are still just equal to the cars that we had in the past (i.e. Civic Si, Sentra SE-R, etc) but taken into account the stricter safety regulations, emissions and miles per gallon standards it is still amazing at what the new cars hitting the market are capable of. The list...

Since we started racing the ITA Integra we have consistently had braking issues.

A system was designed to use existing mounting points as much as possible to funnel the air directly into the center of the rotor. All mocked up on a spindle on a workbench here is what was came up with. Here are...

This past weekend the team traveled to Homestead, Florida for the Tropical Endurance Series event at Homestead Speedway with the ITA Acura Integra. This was a double race weekend meaning that we would run a 1.5 hour Enduro on Saturday with the course in one configuration and then another 1.5 hour Enduro on Sunday with the course in another configuration. Neither of the team drivers have run on the Homestead course before so the short qualifying sessions would be their first go at learning the track layout and how it wants to be driven. Splitting the qualifying session on Saturday...

Preparation for this event began weeks back in an attempt to not only be a front running car but to have a shot at taking the win in the races scheduled for the weekend. Co-Driver Russell...
