After Day 1’s festivities, Mother Nature decided to stop by for Day 2. She decided to bring heavy rain to the party and wash away all the good times. No biggie though. The OGS camp and the Englishtown officials quickly locked in the rain date which was set for the following Sunday, August 21, 2011. That weekend some members of the SNTRL crew were in Chicago covering Wekfest, and they were actually rushing to make it in time to partake in the festivities of Day 2. Fortunately, SNTRL’s Jon Melendez and TMINUS NYC held down the fort for the entire day, with Jon capturing moments through his lens that really communicates the passion of Honda Day Englishtown. Day 2 was supposed to be the epic day, with Day 1 serving as the warm-up for the weekend. As you saw, Day 1 proved to be much more than just a warm-up.

With the sound ordinance laws in New Jersey, open-muffler events at the local tracks are designated for only Wednesday’s and Sunday’s. Day 1 featured some awesome Honda Day drag racing, but Day 2 was bringing the heat as everyone went all out in all race categories. On the 1320 and in shows, Day 2 brought quality and quantity.

The crowds, the racers and the show contestants were out in full force and another memorable Honda Day went down.

Special appearance by Frankie’s Right-Hand drive CW Integra Type R which has been making the rounds on the internet as of late. This beauty is up for voting to appear in the December issue of Import Tuner. He has my vote!

This is what you call dedication. Eddie from Unique*Auto Squad was actually with us in Chicago for Wekfest. After repping hard out there at the show, he drove 15 hours straight to New Jersey, along with Turtle in his Euro-Accord Wagon, B.Orjuela and the rest of the Tri-state crew in time for Honda Day Englishtown Day 2.

Meanwhile, Sarah from Unique*Auto Squad was holding it down as well for her team.

Day 2, brought more quality as you can see here. Rows and rows of amazing builds, like this J swapped eg civic, tucked and clean.

Another shade of orange and clean. This time with a K-swap. We wonder if corporate Honda back in Japan realized the power they were giving the masses with the K and J motors.

8th Gen Civics with JDM clips are awesome. This Honda-head took it a step further with the carbon fiber.

I love this setup. A tucked, clean B-series setup that has that “dirty” look to itself with the firewall and inner-fenders. Kinda throws you off for a second, but makes you look twice.
