The final event of 2024 (barring any unforseen last minute days at the Ridge) was an AX event at PIR with Bridge City Autosports. They do a bunch of Autocross, and for whatever reason we haven't run with them prior to this event, but now that we have, we'll surely be back for more! Myself, Dave and Karla drove the car at the event in the actual timed events, with Janik hopping in during the fun laps.

After a succesfull first season with the Accord and getting our team on track the focus has now shifted to getting the car the rest of the way race worthy! There were definitely some improvements made during the first season of getting our team familiar with the car, most notably being transmission cooling and power steering problems.

Coming into this track day I had a bit of a gap driving, and had actually been driving our Lemons Accord more. Fortunately, I was able to wrap up a few last minute modifications to get the car ready to go for the event.

So a lot happened since the last track day. Specifically, we unloaded the car and noticed that the steering pump sounded horrible, and we also needed to manage some really high trans temperatures we were seeing. While our small trans cooler was an improvement over the OEM complete lack of a cooler, it just wasn't up to the job.

Coming fresh off the tail of the previous OnGrid time attack weekend, I had some work to do both to my car and my kit.
