Default honda/michelin challenge series

Did anyone hear about this?? I know it was 3 years ago but I find it odd that anyone actualy raced our body style car. Being that its not classes for SCCA showroom stock or pretty much any other form form of wheel to wheel racing. Judging from the pics it looks like the cars are sort of a showroom stock type, mainly from seeing the massive amount of body roll. I stumbled across this from a link to a cage builder that makes a bolt in roadrace cage for the 2004 civic. I am curious if anyone can find or knows more about these cars. It would be cool to find out how they are set up, What kind of brakes they have that can handle the abuse (it looks like they still have drums in the rear), any what else was done to these cars, especially for us track day people.

I beleive thats up here in Quebec, Canada. Ive seen one of those cars at an autoshow up here. Was a while ago though. lol like they had the 05 rsx-s on display and stuff.

edit/ yeah Im confirming that this is up here in Quebec Theres also toyota Echo cups and stuff lol

As for set ups, im not quite sure, but I can say its not alot of stuff. I think stock motor, stripped interior and roll cage, exaust thats all i know.
