I actually did run an HC car on Saturday's practice session.

Why didn't I compete on Sunday? Too much money, not a chance in hell of placing with my less than 100whp H5 motor. And of course, the noob behind the wheel.

My car is built for sticky tires - take those away and it's just a slow, stiff Honda.

The ideal car for this particular event would have been a K-swapped H1 car, remove the ballast, set it up to run on 140 treadwear RE-01R's or something like that. Maybe not mop up street class, but at least have a chance against the FI cars.
