The build Gallery

Welcome to the gallery, where our 2007 Honda Accord is steadily evolving from commuter car to endurance-race machine as we prepare for the 24 Hours of LeMons. Expect late-night photos under headlamps, missing tools, creative problem-solving, and the occasional shot that implies we have a plan.

This is Black Flag Racing in its natural habitat: cold driveways, long evenings, and steady progress regardless of weather. Browse build updates, pit-lane chaos, and “before” photos that make you wonder how this car ever came together.
