This is my first drag race video at Mission Raceway with my 1993 Honda Civic. The video of the 16.40 quarter mile time was too shaky so this one will do. The time was 16.54 @ 85MPH for quarter mile.

I did my first Mission Raceway event today and it was a success. I did 4 runs down the drag strip and my best time was 16.401 @ 85.68MPH and reaction time of .726. I was told that the reaction time is only used if your racing against someone else and does not matter to [...]

I drove down to BC place stadium today for the Driven to Perform Tour 2008 and it was definitely worth it. There were lots of great looking cars with loud stereo systems, crazy paint jobs, body kits and exotic makes. Although there were a lot of cars there I only saw two EG 92-95 Civics’ [...]
