The moment you're in a racing environment, you should have a fire extinguisher. You have a helmet, hans device, and roll bar - it's just part of the safety suite. No point in potentially burning to death over $200.

I agree! I believe that ALL cars should have a fire extinguisher onboard whether its used for racing or not. Any car can catch fire at any time. For $20-$50 it's such a tiny investment there's no reason to not have one. If you can't afford an extinguisher you really can't afford to lose your car!

Ben, you've had a seriously impressive season. I think your finishes just go to show what a driver you've become. I mean you're in 4th place behind cars that have WAY more power and 2 more drive wheels, that is a huge win in my book. I can't wait to see where you take this car in 2021, and now I want to build a car for street class time attack.

Part of what makes these cars fun is the rotation into curves. I grew up driving on mountain roads, and spent the last couple years driving a 1992 Civic VX on a beautiful twisty road following a small river through a mountain valley about 15 miles each way to work. 92 hp car can haul some serious ass through those curves, stay within a few hundred RPM of peak torque and don't be afraid to use lift-off oversteer and throttle control to bring it around curves- Once you turn into a curve you've gotta apply pressure on the wheel the opposite direction of the turn and stay in the throttle to keep it from swinging around.

Even with the filter in front of the tire, it would not suck up water unless completely submerged. Air flows through the filter easier than water, so water wouldn’t actually make it to the throttle body unless no more air was coming through (as when submerged). Sure it would get the filter super dirty, but it would still be functional.
