I was reading someone's build thread on a forum for Honda CRXs. I discovered a CRX that has been built to race. And the lady driver/owner has been breaking records. What was extra fun, was it had a lot of typical ecomods. Including a nose cone!
There's a good article about her and her CRX here: 1990 Honda CRX SiR
Hey I can dream can't I, .

It's cool to see how many race vehicles use aero mods. A lot of the fastest drag cars in the world often have boat-tail like extensions on the back of the car, and always a type of bonneville spoiler when there's parachutes, and almost always grill blocks. It gives some extra support when the fastest, most successful vehicles in the world try to reduce drag the same ways that we do. Must be doing something right.
