I'm sorry to hear that you're withdrawing from this year's race. I hope that all is well and will be well.

Looking good! I agree that the smaller diameter wheels seem to fit the car better, both physically and aesthetically as they seem to be era appropriate to the Accord/NSX.

Hello all! I just wanted to add my take on this interesting discussion. Indeed, for those of us who follow motorsports, we know that teams do indeed scrutinize the rule book and interpret the rules to find an advantage over their rivals. And, regarding engine type for our purposes, there is certainly some interpretation here as well; particularly with the bolded words in the above quote. Looking at rules D and F (below), the LS3 V12, according to Racecast, is based off the production V8 version, but, probably more important, is that it is available to the public for street use via the aftermarket. That is, it's not simply a fantasy engine as it does exist and would not preclude someone with the ability and finances to build and run such an engine. This could fall under rule F regarding modifications to the vehicle. In my view, the engine would be allowed within the rules primarily due to having been borne from the production LS3 V8 (the video below has a good explanation of the engine) and is offered for street use. In the end, we're all here to have fun, yet keep it fair; that's where rule F-1 comes in: that the spirit of the rules should also be observed (as is the case in motorsports as well). That is, a full bespoke race engine that was never intended for street use would not be keeping in the spirit of the race. What say our fellow competitors as well? "D. Engines should be production-based. Any type of car and/or truck engine that was/is available to the public is permissible: internal combustion, both piston and rotary; hybrid and pure electric (EV)." "F. Modifications to the vehicles are welcomed and encouraged. 1. Modifications should be realistic to keep with the spirit of the race."
