    A few of my friends said i need to take it downto the track just to see what she would do. I pulled in to the strip with a 27 t ford coupe. Instead of seeing tons of novas and mustangs i saw hondas as far as the eyecould see. It was a great time, most asked what was on top of the motor, and others asked if it was a 1950 something, others just called it a rustbucket. My first p*** was a smokey ride at 15 seconds. How depressing, my buddy told me not to floor it so after that i ran 13.2. The fastest i ran was 13.0 at 106, two times before they shut the track down friday night. 10 laps in all. heres some pics, enjoy

    that looks like fun. 106 in a hot rod feels a whole lot different than 106 in a honda.

    sweet.

    i always loved the staging lanes full of honda interiors laying there. the weight savings of course....

    glad to see someone actually put it on the track.

    I always laugh cuz I see way more 10 sec. street driven imports than 10 sec. street driven hot rods, but it's always the hot rodders making fun of the import cars. Most guys with imports think hot rods are cool. Maybe thats just how it is where i live? Anyway glad you had fun at the track. We have been going to motor speedway in NJ "e- town" it's the best time I have had in a while. booze, hot rods, girls, bands, and drag racing!
