Mission Raceway Drag Video
Posted On 28 Jun 2008 By Bart Piotrowski. Under: 1993 Honda Civic Project, Civic, D16, Drag Racing, Hatch, Video's.
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.

Mission Raceway Was a Success
Posted On 27 Jun 2008 By Bart Piotrowski. Under: 1993 Honda Civic Project, Civic, D16, Drag Racing, Hatch.
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 your quarter mile time but I will have to investigate this farther so this may be wrong. I will post a video soon as I can get it on youtube.
Here is my timeslip results for this race.
R/T ... .726
60' ... 2.610
330 ... 7.010
1/8 ... 10.627
MPH ... 67.34
1000 ...13.778
1/4 ... 16.401
MPH ... 85.68

Getting Ready to Race at Mission
Posted On 24 Jun 2008 By Bart Piotrowski. Under: 1993 Honda Civic Project, Civic, D Series Engine, Drag Racing, Hatch, VTEC.
This Friday night I'm going to take my 1993 Honda Civic to the drag strip to see what kind of quarter mile time I can get out of my VTEC engine. I have never raced on a drag strip before so this will be a great learning experience. I want to go because I want to have a before turbo and after turbo quarter mile time slip. I estimate my quarter mile time to be around 15.9-16.5 seconds at 82-88MPH
Things I will need to do to my Honda Civic before it's ready to race
- Save $30 for race admission
- Drain antifreeze out of my engine and replace with water
- Swap my front 15" rims to 13" rims and deflate tires to 15-20psi during racing
- Clean out the contents of my car including the glove box of any unnecessary weight
- Check all fluids to make sure they are topped off especially oil and coolant.
- Wash car so it looks nice on race day
- Clean my K&N Filter Charger
- Swap my drivers side mirror with a spare one as my current one is damaged.

Import Invasion 2008 Rained out :(
Posted On 07 Jun 2008 By Bart Piotrowski. Under: Car Shows, Drag Racing, Show n Shine.
Well I'm sorry to say that this years' Import Invasion Drag Races and Events were cancelled today at 12:45pm, do to very rainy conditions at the race track. This was really disappointing to me because I was really keen on going and seeing some great racing. I had my camera all ready to go when I heard the news, I was a bit cheesed but what can you do, we can't control the weather. I really hope that they move some schedules around and that they reschedule Import Invasion sometime in July or August so I can get a chance to see some Civic's racing specially on boost. ...

Import Invasion 2008 Might Just Make it
Posted On 05 Jun 2008 By Bart Piotrowski. Under: Car Shows, Drag Racing, Show n Shine.
The weather seems like it will cooperate on Saturday, so stay tuned to the site for images and possibly some video of the racing down at Mission Raceway. As it looks right now it’s forecasted to be cloudy most of the day on Saturday so hopefully there is a full turn out of all the drag racers and car show fanatics. I was kind of disappointed that there was only 2 EG Civics’ at last weekends Driven to Perform Tour, so hopefully there is a bigger turn out of Honda’s this weekend with lots of EG 92-95 Civics’. ...

Women Can Be Fast Too
Posted On 17 May 2007 By Bart Piotrowski. Under: Drag Racing, Other Civic's.
Bouncing around some forums I found a website about a chick that races a Honda CRX with a 1/4 mile time of 11.7sec at 129 mph. She has a B16B block and B16A head plus a wack of other crazy mods including a Turbonetics turbo. It's called staciescrx and for a chick she does pretty good down the track. ... Read More
