Time attack racing

This past year, I competed in my local Time Attack racing series, hosted by Canadian Sport Compact Series (CSCS) here in Ontario, Canada. Below are the pictures of me and my Fit running the event.

But could you see them....?

What was your method to mounting your lightbar? I have considered installing one in the lower grill as a psuedo radiator-protector / extra-light-on-the-road modification.

How many laps do you get per day? I am running HPDEs which is just against my own time, and always includes traffic. My understanding about time attack is that you are separated by 1/3 mile to start so you get some good laps without traffic. My home track is 3.4 miles long. How long is the track there at Shannonville? What mods do you have? Cheers,

Shannonville's track length is about 4.03km long (On the long track that we raced on).

Our time attack format for CSCS was set up and divided into 3 groups, with approx 10-15 cars per group. Everyone spaced themselves out and try to get much laps in within a set time frame during qualifying.

The current mods i have are posted on my build thread.

Dude, your sticker to mod ratio is high LOL. What were your best times on that 4.03 km track? Are your times getting gradually better with experience? Best of luck,

Nice, that's moving! My Meters/sec is like 29 and yours is like 30. There are 17 turns on the 3.4 mi Spring Mountain configuration and only 1km straight away, the longest, I am hoping to get under 3 minutes next time out there. The straights don't favor the fit, haha. Really wanted evilchargerfan's coilovers, but it wasn't meant to be. I will just bide my time. Do you have a harness? If so do you have a HANS device? My local group is mandating HANS for harnesses (4-pt at least). Cheers, d
