Getting Started

After a long time on MotorPride.com they finally gave up on trying to keep it running. So I've moved my basic information (pictures, video links, etc.) to http://home.mchsi.com/~buggboyz and I'll try to keep up with the progress of the car, team, and season here in this blog. I'll likely also diverge from time to time into other fun areas (especially during the off season we're currently enjoying) like geocaching, BuggBoyZ baseball and football, and Upward Cheerleading.

We race with the Sports Car Club of America (SCCA) in the Improved Touring (IT) class. The "A" designates the sub category which in this case includes mostly Hondas, Miatas, Accuras, a few Nissan 240sx, and similar cars. IT allows for minimal modifications so the cars still look like cars and could technically still be licensed and driven on the street. Here is a short write up from our first outing in the new ITA Honda CRX at Barber Motorsports Park last Labor Day.

We took the new ITA Honda out for its first test/race over the Labor Day weekend. The learning curve was/is a little steep, but we were able to get the car to handle better as the weekend progressed. By Sunday's race, we were fighting hard for 4th place (in a field of 20+ cars) and the car felt very good. Watching the video, the driver is the one that needs the work! Have a blessed day. God is good!
