Bergenholtz Racing CRX Inducted into NHRA Museum!

[EJ25RUN]

I'm sure some of you are confused on why I am the one posting this but its very simple. This CRX was one of the reasons i got into imports.
If anyone has the Super Street decade article where Bergenholtz's wheelie bars were chosen as one of the revolutions in sport compact history, please post the pics from it as i really want that photo.



NHRA Museum Website:
Fast forward 50 years and two more brothers, Rod and Ed Bergenholtz. Working out of a very humble garage in Orange County, California 20 years ago, their ride was a buddy's 1988 Honda CRX. The vehicle was driven on the street and then, as it got faster, was converted into a professional race car in the late 90's and raced at NHRA racetracks nationwide. Driver Ed set numerous records but gained historic notoriety in 1999 when wheely bars were mounted to the rear of the car. The wheely bars forever revolutionized front-wheel-drive drag racing and the CRX set numerous records. It also became the catalyst for other front wheel drive drag racers to run even faster. From this first racecar, the Bergenholtz Racing Brothers were the only race team to win back to back PROFWD NHRA Championships as well as claim the World's Quickest FWD record for an Import vehicle. Today, Ron and Ed Bergenholtz still operate the same as they did 20 years ago from a very humble Orange County garage doing amazing things in the professional motorsports community.

The exhibit will open to the public on Friday, Nov. 13th, in conjunction with the annual fan-favorite Night of Champions during the NHRA Finals.
