1987 Honda CRX Si - Reachin' Back

Aaron Bonk talks about drag racing back in the early 90's and his 1987 Honda CRX Si!Epic Battle
Picture it. It's sometime during the early '90s, you're living somewhere in the greater Los Angeles area, and you want to go racing. More specifically, you want to go drag racing. But you can't. You've thought about visiting one of the then many drag strips but soon realize that you don't own a Mustang. Or a Camaro. You're the guy with the late-'70s Toyota Celica GT, the rotary-powered Mazda RX-3, or the '87 CRX Si. Sure, you know there are places you can race legally, like the South Bay's nearly forgotten Brotherhood Raceway or San Diego County's Carlsbad Raceway, but then you remember that it's still only 1990 and that the guy with the CRX would be all but shunned from such locations. Besides, neither of the two tracks offer any type of sanctioned competitive drag racing and are little more than redneck fist-pump-fests where mullets and flannel tank-tops are equally as commonplace as racing gasoline and slicks.inline_mediumwraptextright28139974/editorial/htup_1004_1987_honda_crx_sihtup_1004_01_o+1987_hon da_crx_si+wide_shot.jpgTrue
