Mid Ohio - the business of racing
24 July 2005You couldn’t ask for better weather, it was hot as it usually is but beautiful racing weather overall. Big crowd, new track records in every class, good stuff.

Honda plans fuel cell motorcycle
21 July 2005Honda plans to be leasing fuel cell motorcycles by 2009. Maybe the ENV started something or maybe Honda likes to lease vehicles at crazy prices.
