Dad. Husband. Engineer. Wanna be racecar driver.
Fastest lap of the weekend at @gridlifeofficial @carolinamotorsportspark with a 1:44.7!
Unfortunately missed all day Friday repairing a damaged axle, so given this was my first time here with limited running I’m pretty happy with the lap.Definitely overslowed a few places and didn’t fully commit to the kink, so room to improve next time!Congrats to @fayngold for the win and @petergranberg511 and @ptrck_hrvy for the podium spots!
The car felt so dialed with the wider front @apexwheels and @asrparts big brake kit which gives me a lot of confidence for the rest of the season.Super excited for Midwest Fest coming up in just a month!
Thanks to my partners helping me go fast!

Excited to share that I have partnered up with @apexwheels for the 2026 season!
Since it’s been proven with lap times, I knew I needed to move to a 10.5” wide wheel to keep up with the crazy fast Club TR field.Moving to a 5-lug setup opened the door for wheel options and here we are!
Apex’s Evolution line of flow formed wheels are a perfect balance of strength, performance and cost.The VS-5 design really works well on the Integra and looks badass given the specs!
I certainly intend to put these to the test and can’t wait to feel the difference the wider wheel will make.And I won’t have to wait long as CMP is this weekend with @gridlifeofficial !
Excited for this partnership and thanks again to @jb__butler for all the support in this!

I’ve been a bit absent on social media posts, but have been working hard on the car the last few months to get ready for @gridlifeofficial @carolinamotorsportspark !
The big change to the car for this year was switching to 5-lug, to enable running a wider/bigger front wheel (more to come on that later!)
As part of the 5-lug swap, I needed to change my brake setup to match and I finally pulled the plug on the tried and true @asrparts AP big brake kit!
While the diameter of the new rotor is almost the same as my old setup, the rotor is ~33% thicker, is two-piece and has much better vane design.The caliper is super lightweight, has staggered pistons and anti-knockback springs built in as well.
This will all equate to much better thermal capacity and management of heat, allowing me to go hard the whole session!
The kit is a thing of beauty and combined with some @hawkperformance DTC-70s, should be the final solution I need for braking in this car.
Excited to try CMP out as it’s a new track for me and also just pumped to get back on track with the ClubTR homies!Been a long winter here in CLE!

Tune into another segment from Episode 22 where we discuss racecar mission creep with @amwrobel. Let us know what you think of his killer time attack build in the comments!
Super excited for this episode’s release! This is our first interview episode. We sit down with @amwrobel to talk about his Time Attack Integra and how he got hooked on racing.

Finally making some progress on the 5-lug swap!
A critical part of this swap in the rear is the Integra Type-R rear bearing is wider than the non Type-R variant.
This leads to a portion of the bearing being unsupported on the stub axle, which can lead to premature failure of the bearing. Especially when running larger wheels with wide, sticky tires.
@honed_developments luckily makes a kit to solve this problem.It includes a precision machined sleeve that slides onto the stub axle to extend it to the width of the Type-R bearing, as well as a thin lock washer and thin axle nut to match.
A seemingly little thing, but this will prolong bearing life and increase the reliability on track so I spend more time in the seat and less time repairing the car.
Thanks again to @honed_developments for being a partner of mine and for constantly creating innovative solutions to 90s era Honda problems!

As mentioned before, I’m moving to a 5 lug setup in order to run the 18x10.5” front wheel that has proven to be worth the effort by a lot of the front runners in ClubTR.
Interestingly, I found out that the Dorman hubs I got for a 97-01 CRV off Rockauto (using CRV knuckles instead of Type R) have a slightly larger hole for the wheel studs than OEM hubs do.This meant that the normal ARP extended studs for Hondas (ARP 100-7712) don’t work.
Buying new OEM CRV hubs will run ~$350-400 for the set compared to $140 for the Rockauto hubs.
Looking at the ARP catalog, the studs for Miatas (ARP 100-7719) require a hole size in steel of 0.492” (12.5mm). I measured the hole size of the Rockauto hubs to be 0.487” (12.37mm). So to make those studs work in these hubs, I just needed to drill out the holes by 0.005” (0.127mm) to have the correct size hole.
With a $10 drill bit and a drill press, I opened up the holes and re-chamfered the back of the hole to accommodate the fillet at the base of the studs.
The studs pressed in perfectly and are the same pitch as well.The length is shorter by 0.10” (2.54mm), but that’s not an issue for my setup.
Savings of $210 and also the piece of mind knowing I can easily get replacement hubs quickly will be worth it!Hope this helps others in this situation as an alternate option.

Season finale at @gridlifeofficial @pittrace and the last ever time I will drive Pitt Race as well.Such an amazing event and the level of competition present in ClubTR was so high.This lap was my second best effort (following lap was a 1:56.8, but the video shut off), with a lap time of 1:56.9.
My goal of getting into the 1:55s wasn’t achieved, but I’m still happy with a 3.9 sec improvement on last years time, a P9 finish in class out of 27 entrants and a car that was fast and reliable all weekend long!
Congrats to @bigmacvtak for the first ever back-to-back ClubTR championship!And to @rise_vtec and @pete.lete for absolute clinical performances this whole year.You all are inspirations!
Have some more time to find so will be making a few off season changes to the car to go hunt for some podiums next year!
Thanks to everyone helping me go fast!
