THE ORIGIN • 2001–2002

IT STARTED AT
RACEWAY PARK.

When the RSX platform was brand new, Francisco owned one and spent time at Old Bridge Township Raceway Park in Englishtown, New Jersey.

The black RSX appeared on an Import High Tech flyer for the Import Survival Series. The framed flyer survived. Midnight Auto NJ is where the story starts again.

One build. Twenty-five years in the making.
