Honda VTEC Party Gymkhana, Bangkok Drag Avenue 2008

My final run at the Honda VTEC Party Gymkhana, November 22, 2008 at Bangkok Drag Avenue outside of Bangkok, Thailand. Second in my class, although I would have won if I hadn't pipped that laaaaaast pylon. D'oh! The course was the tightest I've ever seen anywhere, almost too tight for a Honda Civic.

This was the last event at Bangkok Drag Avenue before it was closed due to the horrible crash that occurred later in the day, in which a drag car lost control and cartwheeled through the spectators, killing 9.

It's a 1992 Honda Civic EG three-door hatchback with a 2-liter DOHC 4-valve VTEC engine, headers, large-diameter exhaust, Type-R intake & transmission (limited slip), high-flow injectors, custom computer chip, etc., etc...

Not a bad run!

What kind of suspension are you using? If you can get your hands on a hydraulic handbrake you'd OWN

The car is way low, but I don't know what kind of springs & shocks were put on by the previous owner. The guys in the modified classes were using rear drum brakes with a long extension on the handbrake handle so they could lock the rears instantly. They also used wide, sticky tires on the front and skinny, slippery tires on the back. The winner was amazing to watch!

[jjludemann]

No roll cage, no rollover bar, not even a helmet. I don't even think they were checking for seatbelts.
