Yes Matt, the website is not updated on that.
Rob : Charlie was 12th, also well off the pace of where we should have been. We didn't expect to win STS by any means, but the car SHOULD have been within a couple seconds of the Grote/Thana Civic. It wasn't. We simply could not put down power at all unless the car was pointed straight, and on that course that was deadly. We are giving up 300 lbs to the Civics but have better power (and better power/weight) in comparison on a very similar wheelbase and width. Obviously if your advantage in a class is power/weight, you'd dang well better be able to use it
Charlie talked with the owners of the other 93 Acura Integra in STS (the one that DID trophy) and got some setup ideas...once they found out our setup (and specifically one key in it) they were not surprised we were having the wheelspin issues....

Well, the results are posted.
Ed, 300 lbs is a lot! the main advantage for Civics is the light weight, and it makes them so easy to drive, so easy to correct any mistake, and turn-in's are so sharp, it feels like you are driving a go-kart.
