Jason Owens has been tracking Hondas for years. He knew Civics were well known for being quick when modified, and he wanted to do something a little different on the track. "People eventually became accustomed to Civics being fast and I needed something new to present a challenge. I wanted to stay in the Honda family so the Fit was an obvious choice." Thanks to an impressive K-swap and a well-rounded performance build, Owens has turned his Fit into a force to be reckoned with on any racetrack.
