Bergenholtz Immortalized
Remember this little CR-X? It was the first FWD drag car, designed by Bergenholtz Racing, to utilize wheelie bars and changed the game for all future pro FWD dragsters. Recognizing their engineering accomplishments and various NHRA victories, they have now been inducted into the NHRA Hall of Fame where the CR-X will forever be on display in a special diorama made to look like their garage at NHRA Museum in Pomona, CA. "It is a great honor. Being inducted into the museum is legendary. I know my grandchildren and my great grandchildren can go to the NHRA Museum and look at the amazing things their grandfather did in drag racing," said Ron Bergenholtz, Team Manager of Bergenholtz Racing. "The diorama took a fair amount of time to complete. We had just got done with Formula Drift Finals and started right away on preparing the CR-X as well as acquire the necessary props for the display. I can't wait for everyone to see it!" said Ed Bergenholtz pilot of the Bergenholtz Racing CR-X.

Do You Remember The Times?
My life revolves around cars. Growing up in the '80s I was fortunate to have seen many ridiculous TV shows. The funny thing was if a show had a cool car in it, it would be a hit. It wasn't just cars though; Street Hawk had a motorcycle, Airwolf and Blue Thunder had a helicopter, even The Fall Guy had some lifted truck for the rednecks.
Top Five '80s TV Cars
5. The A-Team - I actually wanted to buy a GMC Van and shave my head like Bad Ass Baracus. Not sure how but they made the ugliest van ever cool. Let's not forget 'Face' had the white Corvette.
4. Dukes of Hazzard - And you thought Japan started drifting. The dirt drifting Challenger with broken doors was gangsta. Admit it, I know you climbed through a car door when you were a kid.
3. Magnum P.I. - With a Ferrari 308 GTS and a mustache, Tom Selleck won the hearts of women and men alike. Made me grow an epic 'stache too.
2. Miami Vice - When Enzo Ferrari found out that the show was using a fake replica Ferrari Daytona, he donated the then new Testarossa to the show. Can you feel it coming in the air at night? I can.
1. Knight Rider - Don't hassel the Hoff. The show didn't just popularize Member's Only jackets, it also popularized scrolling red LED lights for your car alarm.
100WHP Or Bust!
The guys from Fits-In-Tune threw an all Honda Fit dyno day at Wired Electronics in Linden, NJ. Some Fits made as low as 82whp. Yes, you might think the Fit is a grocery-getter that shouldn't be modified. But these guys take their grocery shopping very seriously. One Fit owner showed up with the HKS turbo kit and another even had a K24 swap, making over 200whp. Next year the crew will be extending the invite to more Fit crews to see who's got the best Fit in tune. Maybe we'll see one this year at our FF Battle. We'll be sure to send it out for groceries at lunchtime.
