I did the 4-2 last year and blew up clutches, I rowed through 3rd this year and life was all good.

What he said. :D Solid motor mounts FTW. I think the moral of that story is don't race a Civic hatchback, if you do...keep the glass in it!

The CCR does say that you need some form of eye protection though. I like my visor up and wear ballistic rated sunglasses (Oakleys). As for fire, I got over the fear of burning in a vehicle some 2 tours ago. :p

I even spray the inside of the car with gas...just for fun...

All the cool kids are doing it these days :p

J/K - that looks like a file photo from a special version of the 'ol "Death on the Highways" video for road racers. Glad your air filter wasn't in the old location....that Murphy can be a pretty mean SOB.

Nah that would have just made it run rich...heaven forbid it give me a few extra HP. :D

I thought that eye protection was only for open cockpits:

resistant material are permitted as “eye protection.” However, the choice of eye
protection used, and the responsibility for any failure, belongs to the driver

You are correct. Face shields are required for open cockpit cars, "eye protection" is required for all.

Made me laugh, but I hope you don't get tired of people thanking you for your service.

Okay, so I'm 2 weeks late to the party, but just tried my hand at a cut rate editing job of R4 (2 1/2 min worth)...
