If you’ve been messing around with Hondas for any amount of time, you will have unquestionably noticed the segregation between the drag racing and show/meet car crowd. It may not be as prevalent nowadays because of the new, entirely separate “track guy” crowd. It’s all about doing time attack and full course track events now so drag racing has taken a back seat within the Honda community. With the spawning of the “track guy”, show car guys have started looking for more aggressive Japanese-inspired aero for that race car look. Drifting transitioning to the mainstream may have been the first major blow to the popularity of drag racing, but drifting just isn’t something any Honda guy has to worry about. Drag racing has always been a major part of the import tuning spectrum since the beginning and that stigma between racers and show car guys has existed alongside it. If the Honda community was high school, then these two factions would definitely be separate cliques in the lunch room and you would never catch one guy going over to the other table to share a lunch.
