The episode of the show "Modified" titled as the "World's Greatest Drag Race" was a unique and intense event where the fastest Honda Civics in the US participated in a one-time quarter-mile drag race on a three-mile runway. The hosts, Matt and Geoff, described the event as a "head's up drag racing" where the first car to cross the finish line wins. There were no re-dos or do-overs in this competition.
The show featured various Honda Civic models, each with different modifications and power outputs. Some of the cars were stock, while others had been heavily modified with turbochargers, all-wheel drive conversions, and other enhancements. The hosts provided commentary on the cars' setups and their potential in the race.
The race began with all engines revving, and the cars took off in a flurry of sound effects. The race was intense, with each car trying to achieve the perfect launch to win the race. The hosts noted that wind and the type of surface they were racing on could affect traction and the performance of the cars.
Ricky's car came in first, with Alex's car coming in second and Omid's car in third. After the race, Ricky was presented with the trophy and the keys to a 2017 Honda Civic, which he won for his victory. The hosts praised Ricky for his performance and thanked the fans and enthusiasts for coming to the event. They also mentioned their experiences in driving across the country and participating in other competitions like Formula D and Rallycross.
