Hondas are great race cars. The handling ability and reliability that was originally engineered in them give them a natural edge over almost every other car at the track. When you add the advantage of the strong aftermarket support that has come from drag racing, you get an impressively affordable machine. Dollar for dollar you will corner around the track faster in a Honda.
Lately ex-drag and show cars have been coming out of garages, reconfigured for track duty. Simultaneously, new racing organizations have started up to welcome them and show their owners the ropes. This issue features three recently completed track cars. They are just a few examples of the direction Honda builds seem to be shifting toward. Even the beautiful ITR has hints of track worthiness with its Takata harnesses like every other car in here. We'll be jumping into a couple of the latest Honda dragsters soon. But for now, here is the circuit hatch special issue. I hope you enjoy it.
