Low res, sorry computer sucks and it would take years to process a HD version. Soon!

Very cool Ravi....
Never seen my car from that angle. Tells me I need to stiffen up my front sway bar just a little
You're a excellent driver Ravi, it's always fun chasing you around and watching your skills.
You know, next season I'm switching to Hoosiers for track use
I'm only 2 seconds off being in the top 5 in TTU and the change of tires should bring me closer to them guys with they're full blown race cars running Hoosiers.
Not bad for a daily driven street car

Kinda how I feel, I might do some Hoosiers for TA next year. In TT I actually am 3rd in class now w00t. If I hadn't missed so many events I would have probably been in the top 2!
I wish my car gave me more to work with though JIM. I know I have come a long way as a driver but essentially, I drive a stock NSX with wider tires and a good set of brake pads.
I am hoping next year to be able to get some serious N/A work done on it to make it more competitive in the straight line which is where I am utterly ran over by every single competitor in my class.
One of my personal goals is to stay within visual range of you

You will get there Ravi, I driven with you long enough to know you will. As I've said before, I enjoy following you around the track. Every time I do, I learn something from watching you that makes me faster as well. Who do you think got me started finally trail braking
What you lack in straight line speed right now can always be obtained by adding HP, which you will do eventually.
Where you really excel and will continue to excel is in your corning abilities. Anybody can be fast down the straightaways, but you know as well as I do, it's all corner entry and corner exit that puts down consistent fast lap times on many of the tracks we run, especially West, East and INDE. When you add that HP, you will be a force to be reckoned with for sure, and the one to beat in class not only on the short tracks but the long ones as well.
As we both know as instructors and TT drivers, it's not how fast you go, it's how long you go fast that matters.
...and you didn't get to be 3rd in class by being slow.. we both know the guys we race with that are in the top 5 are not push overs by any means...
I have a strong feeling you will be in the top 2 next year without a doubt. I have faith in your abilities.
After last weekend, I should have moved up to 6th in TTU. If I can get to the top 5 next year, I will feel like I've accomplished something personally for only being my second year in TTU.
The main thing is we're having fun brother !
2 days at FB East in December... and I'm really looking forward to getting back on FB Main hopefully in January for 2 days.
I also like the fact that we're going to start traveling more to INDE, and also adding the new tracks of Chuckwalla and Fontana next year to our standard 3 different Firebird track schedule. That gives us 6 different tracks for 10 - 2 day events next year...I can't do AMP, can't pass the sound restrictions :-(

I have fun every time Jim!
I am just slightly competitive in nature and knowing that a civic with a B swap can eat me down the straights kinda kills it for me.
I am currently working on another DD so I can possibly go another step with the NSX and shed some weight.
HP is in the works for next year! Hopefully!

I know you do, I see you out Instructing in DE1, then out in DE 3, DE 4 for ride alongs and TT all day long, LOL...You work that NSX to death every event for 2 days straight.
You give so much of yourself to others out there with your knowledge, experience and your time.... your time is coming !
It all will come together for you Ravi, have faith ! It just takes time.

So....next year KW's, a OS Giken Diff and Hoosiers
Lions, tigers and bears....yehaw...
