When the car cuts off at 6,000 rpms in second gear, are you going straight or during a turn? Cutting out at 6,000 rpms, sounds like vtec isn’t engaging at that specific moment. Are you in a turn? How is the oil pressure at that exact moment? Earlier you mentioned how you keep an eye out on your oil level and you top it off up to the second mark. That would mean that while driving and burning oil as h22s like to do, you’re under this mark, and if your 6,000 rpms at 2nd gear happens to be in a turn, maybe you have temporary low oil pressure? Personally since my car also burns oil I top it off half up to half a quart above the second mark. And I always keep it between this level and the second mark. I know I’m not the only person to do this with Hondas either. I don’t know just some food for thought. Other culprit could be your engine temp running a bit cooler than operating temp.
Nasa guy here, we get lots of track time with instructors before we are cleared to open passing time trials. Did nobody teach you not to shuffle steer? Just curious as I thought SCCA was more strict.
Nice to see how it works, I’m 25 and I’ve just discovered scca time trials and I really want to get into it.
Brings back them track day feelz!!! We gotta get back out there man!
we definitely do man, and we will, next year should be a lot of fun
Watching this while I sit on my Prelude.
ayeeee you too? what year?
I would love to do this i have to find a car first. And how do i go by finding a instructor for time attack
Only a dream.....but looks ffuuuunnnn
Did you end up selling the Lude? :/ I still have mine and am looking to track it
I lent it to my friend, but it’s still around, love the prelude
Were there any 5th Gen Accords out there?
As soon as my car is ready I definitely want to get it to a track. Here's a question. Is the only thing they receive is a trophy?
Sometimes there is money involved but that is at much higher levels of racing
Getting into any type of racing is more about spending than getting anything back pretty much but it can be a lot of fun
I think u went out there to have fun, thats all tht counts
always
SCCA allows beginners to participate?
They do!

Yea man, it's definitely oil starvation, needs to be at or slightly above the high mark on the dipstick
You don’t heel/toe? Top vid
Definitely do, you have to otherwise you upset the weight transfer of the car, and wear out the clutch fairly quickly

My shuffle steering was due to improperly tight restraints. I've had hundreds of track days under my belt, just fyi
