Default Were has all the Hondas Gone in the Pro ranks of drag racing

There is a really good three page spread in the HCI magazine October issue.
The spread is called WERE HAVE ALL THE HONDAS GONE <U></U>its pages 12 though 14. I think that this should be a eye opener to our sport,HONDA Factory,and the teams/people using the HONDA product in competition.Its a very good artical.I suggest everyone take a look at it or pick it up at your local news stand.

with the right amount of technology, hondas are just as competative as gm's. dont get your hope's down. there is still power to be found, and traction to be had.

Which may or may not have been due to overporting and getting the aluminum too thin that separates the waterjacket from the port.
