1989 Honda CRX Si Road Racer - Stephan Papadakis - Rumble Strips

AH: So you see Honda Challenge as a place to race just for the sake of racing?
SP: Yeah, that's what I think the series is really good for. Go race World Challenge or something like that if you want to be a professional. You know, there's other racing for that. If Honda Challenge became professional, there wouldn't be anywhere for people to start. NASA does a really good job of keeping it relatively low-budget to go out and do these events. And I think that's important.
