The build on our 2009-spec Honda Civic Si was finished yesterday, just in time for it to be shipped to SEMA in Las Vegas, where it will be on display in the Honda of America pavillion. The car sports our new livery, featuring bright orange and matte black paint, as well as the new C360R wordmark.
We’ll be posting photos from Vegas next week.

After scoring a remarkable championship in their rookie season of KONI Challenge competition in 2007, Adam Burrows and Trevor Hopwood returned to the category with an entirely different challenge in 2008.

SECOND PLACE AT VIR NETS SECOND PLACE IN DRIVER’S CHAMPIONSHIP
Alton, VA (4 October, 2008) -� After a full six hours of racing at Virginia International Raceway in the season-ending Bosch Engineering 6-Hour, Adam Burrows came up just 1.436-seconds short in his quest for a third Grand-Am KONI Challenge race victory of the season with co-driver Trevor Hopwood in the No. 76 Fischer Skis Compass360 Racing Acura TSX on Saturday.
Burrows started the race from sixth on the grid, moving up to race as high as third position as he kept the Acura in the lead pack through the opening two hours of the race. Hopwood, who had some field-scything drives through the pack during the 2008 season, was in strong form once again as he moved from 17th after a pit stop to run as high as second on the 3.27-mile natural terrain road course.
About: Compass360 Racing (C360R) is a championship-winning race team that fields front-running Honda Civic Si's in Grand-Am's Continental Tire Sports Car Challenge and SCCA Pro's World Challenge.
