Winton: Honda Nationals 2017

Honda Nationals is a competition put together where all different Honda's race in a time attacks styled track day. Each car is organised into 5 different classes, based off a point system which is affected by each individual modification on their car. I was placed in class 3 only just, was 0.3 points from being in class 4, class 5 being the fastest/highest mod class where the big boys run.

The trackday was held at Winton Raceway down in Victoria, 2 hours-ish north of Melbourne. My father towed the civic down with me, we raced on the Saturday (which was his 50th birthday), then drove back on the Sunday which was fathers day.

It was a very successful day, the car held up well, first time there with the new motor, started in the 1.50's and each session took 1-2 seconds off my PB bringing it down to a 1.45. Was on a 1.43 lap as I was 2-3 seconds up on my sectors, yet when I came to the final turn just before the finish line I got fuel starve.

I quickly went to the petrol station after to fill up but I was too late coming back, as no more sessions were to be held. We packed up, chatted with my interstate mates, watched the awards, chilled around some more and then returned to the pub for a feed and drinks. Then returned home the next day. Such an awesome weekend!

Just want to thank my father for towing the car down and back, especially on his 50th for the track day and fathers day for driving back. His always supported my passion for cars as he loves them too (just too old to bother to pay for one :P) and without his help I wouldn't of had the car towed down, and the times his leant a helping hand to work on the car is awesome! Thanks dad!
