My First Track Day! - Gingerman Raceway - Civic EG

- Hey, Friends! I finally completed a 2020 goal of participating in my first HPDE! A big shout out to CGI Motorsports for hosting such a chill track day with TONS of seat time. Driving my car for the first time on a big track was an absolute blast and I'd do it again in a heartbeat. I learned so much in one day thanks to my boi, John Raymond. Gingerman Raceway was the perfect track to begin the journey with my little Civic EG. It has been a long journey building this car from the ground up and I'm looking forward to leveling up the build over winter! So many things to fix, add, and change!
Check out the Time-Lapse series to get you caught up on the build!

"When you do it right, you can feel it." So true. Nothing better than the feeling of hitting a perfect set of corners.
It’s a crazy feeling right!? So satisfying!
Lol that Tokyo Drift edit was perfect 🤣
I have to say you have some awesome content and this is now my favorite channel. Love how you film the different aspects of the sport, build.....track....instructing. Keep up the great work. It’s well appreciated and inspiring. Hope to have my eg coupe at the track next year.
This means so much to me! Thank you so much for supporting the channel!
When you put in that Tokyo drift song I died lmao good content bro keep it up
I’m very proud of that part lol
So fun to see new drivers learn and progress. Great job
Thank you! Hope you've seen the latest driving videos as there has been much progress!
Such an underrated channel, found it out randomly (lucky me) Keep up the good work man! Cheers!
That means a lot! Thank you!
I found it randomly too!
I think he contribute to my decision to buy and build a track car lol :)) Started 3 months ago. Bought an EP3 Type R and after some wrenching went to my first trackday, it was a blast :D
@@DCP333 That's awesome to hear man! I've had a few cars, last year I had an EP2 daily and 2 MX5s, 1 JDM import and a 1.8 UK Spec Harvard Limited Edition haha, but this year I have none. Been a horrendous year or so.. but I am rebuilding and picking up a new daily soon, currently planning a civic build too :D I'm glad you had a blast man! EP3's are lovely cars, mine was basically an EP3 except the extra chassis reinforcement and ofc the engine XD
@Dragos P Thats awesome to hear man! Glad you got out there on track!
Rapid growth on track. Love it! He is a very good teacher. Now following!
Awesome! Thank you!
I know this is old, but ive watched it 3 times now..taking mental notes for when im on track at Honda Meet for my first hpde!
Come find me and the boys. I’ll take you out for a session!
@@bvspeed deal! Thank you
2:02 what a lovely morning!
20:40 Well done man! I love watching your progression and I really enjoy your lap breakdowns, having the chat with the instructor did you the world of good and I am chuffed you quickly broke that mental barrier! What a day.
Lovely morning indeed! And yes! Having an instructor is key to making quick and efficient progress.
Stephen Poon- Spoon. Perfect guy for the job
😆
I dig your build! Good stuff.
Thank you!
Love the channel dude ! Keep the content coming . If you haven’t already a video of mods great for the track!
Thank you! I’ve been tossing around the idea of those types of videos. Perhaps one of these days I will!
Congrats on completing your first track day! Great content and nice video. You had an awesome instructor. Love the car too.
Thanks for watching. John is a great instructor indeed!
Bro, watching your progress through 9 was awesome. You picked it up really quick. I remember having certain turns at NCM and Barber that mentally beat me down. Then I had more experienced drivers coach me on them and now I'm super confident. Keep up the good work 💪🏾
Thanks a bunch man! I quickly realized how mental it all was. Help/instruction is key!
Love the content! Love the build!!! Keep up the great work!!!
Thank you!!
Learned alot in the video explaining what mistakes I made while driving my Civic Eg hatchback spearheaded into a corner loosing control spinning into a Guardrail. Rebuilding my Civic now on my Channel. Really enjoy seeing your Build Subscribed and Liked.
Thanks man! Get that thing back out on the track!
Love your content brother, I'm so happy to see your progress! I'm working on my eg too!
Thank you! I’m glad to see the progress too! Work has just been busy, but it’s gotta get done before the track day regardless!
When i see JR with the beard game. Miss you boys.
"BIG BRAKES.... TOOO MUCH BRAKES"
Good content bro!!!!
Thank you!!
5:51 is awesome
😅
Congrats brothas. I'm always rusty at the beginning of the season. Make it out to mn next season. We track often with impulse performance at dctc and brainerd proving grounds.
I would love to man! I’ll have to see how next season goes.
I love your car!
Thank you!
Dorifto 👌 haha, jokes aside I bet he really was impressed, because you stayed on throttle and didn’t do what most learners would have
I’m sure he was happy I kept it on the track lol
this is my fav channel
1+sub right here man
I’m honored! Thanks you!
@@bvspeed damn you replied faster than my g35
Hahahaha I just happened to be replying to some other comments and yours popped up.
@@bvspeed lol
hello from new Zealand btw
Wow! From across the pond! Thanks for watching!
My plan is to do get a summer job before I got to college, I have a beige 2002 Honda Accord sedan, automatic, so far it’s got a huge wing, racing wheels, coil overs, front lip, racing seats, carbon fiber wrapper hood, and exaughst, I want to fully fit the interior remove all carpet and maybe the center console, keep door panels and headliners, then paint the metal white. Then I want to do a wire tuck and paint then I want to add a 700$ eBay turbo kit and boost it and all around 5psi. Also I want to add some bigger meatier tires. And I want to make a plexiglass cut out in my hood, like a see through part, and harness bar and harness. I can’t wait it’s my daily driver but it’s gonna be a track monster
Sounds like you have a lot of work ahead of you! Thanks for watching!
I have been extremely tempted to try out gingerman. I have super high anxiety and autocross is usually my speed but this track looks so less intense without a bunch of walls and super high speeds. Did you feel comftarble there? Not super intimidating?
I’ve been working at racetracks for the past 5 years, driving at decent pace in several cars, so I’m use to the environment in general. But I will say that Gingerman is a VERY safe place based off of the exact things you’ve mentioned. I highly recommend it as a first road course track!
@@bvspeed thank you sir! I will definitely get signed up for CGI
What suspension are you running, and tire setup?
I noticed you watched the first time lapse video which had the entire suspension setup shown. As for tires, they’re 225/45/15 Hankook RS4’s.
You do the fixing and upgrades I’ll do the driving and turning lol
I like to do both! Well, mostly driving lol
You around south haven?
I’m from Chicago.
