Type R Club of America

Acura brought out their PY from the museum to display in the convention hall. Realtime also had their Acura race cars on display. Pretty cool to see Kleinubing's ITR again. It's so simple inside. I wonder if that cage would pass tech these days? Would've been cool to see it run around the track!!!

Beautiful photos Yoshi! It's fun to see Acura embracing their heritage (racing and none) at these events. Thank you for sharing.

Yoshi! What day did you go? I was only able to go Friday. I saw Peter Cunningham walking and I said, "Hi Peter!" He was surprised and just said, "hey!".

I was there Sunday with my daughter. Crazy girl wanted to see the WHOLE thing so we were there from 7:30AM until well past 5.
She's already making plans to come back next year along w/ the Vietnam F1 and wants to go see monster trucks & Stadium Supertrucks a few times before then.

That's how you get your money's worth!

I got a free Honda drawstring backpack, an Acura pocket tool, and an Acura 2200mah power bank at the Honda and Acura booths.

Cool swag! My kid got the sunglasses

Interesting that they chose 17 inch wheels for RTR ITR.

Reaching dEEp into my old, foggy memory bank...RTR's ITRs started out with 15" tyres. In '01, the series started using spec Toyo street tyres which meant 17" size. In '03, the series switched to Toyo's RA-1...also 17".

Actually, maybe they started out with 16" OEM NSX front wheels for the '97 ITRs? Then switched to 15" TE-37 for the 98 spec ITR? Brain fartz!

y shi - who's also been on 17" since '01

I was thinking about how Honda always said the best handling for these cars is 15/16inch.
