It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat. - Theodore Roosevelt

I hope that no one will claim to know the final answers; no good comes from prophets. But even when acknowledging our falibility, we must nevertheless continue to think about these matters and give the advice to others that intellect and conscience dictate. And let God be our judge, as our grandparents used to say. - Sakharov

My Honda Challenge race car for sale
Wednesday, 31 January 2007
All good things have to come to an end... well, at least this chapter. I took 2nd in SoCal NASA Honda Challenge in 2005 and 3rd in NorCal in 2006 in it. It was fun and a great experience, but it doesn't make sense to hold onto it while I'm in Boston, so it has to go. The addiction runs deep, so you know I'll be back in a race car again soon! click "more" to see the ad.

Notable concerns you may have: In fall of 2005 my car was involved in a collateral collision at Infineon Raceway, the right side was swiped and damaged the door and rear quarter panel. The door and rear quarter panels were replaced and repaired by DB Autobody. There was no frame damage. Throughout 2006 season I was trying to chase down handling issues, but after the last race of the season, Andrie and I found that front control arm bushing and mounting point was going bad. We repaired this as well as added a camber kit and the car now handles a whole lot better than I ever experienced since owning the car. While were aligning the front steering wheel position, we did still noticed that the car pulls to the right slightly. I am not sure why yet, but the transmision was just recently opened last summer to replace first and second gear syncros. So we are pretty confident it is not related to the transmission. This car is ready to race as-is, but there may be also a few precautionary items and upgrades to make this car even more competitive. 1. Timing belt replacement, it has not been replaced since I purchased the car 2 years ago. 2. Re-tune the ECU 3. Stage 3 Cam upgrade 4. need new clutch pretty soon
