Spotted Acura Truck on 401 west

Saw this truck passing me on the 401 west heading to Windsor.
The truck exitted off at Sarnia, just about an hour away from Windsor--which is right across the Detroit, MI border.
Took these shots with my phone while driving...



The back of the truck said Acura Advance: Realtime

I wonder what was inside......

Realtime racing TSX's and RSX's. Once I saw a convoy of honda trucks 3 trucks and an umarked truck in the center and they were all moving together in one lane following each other's moves. One of my buddies was saying, what if that has the ALMS ARX cars in em... and this was a few days before sebring, maybe a week or two.

Wow that's sick. I think we had an Acura TL rockin' RJs in Montreal before too...
I honestly felt like following this truck... and pull a FnF. Hahah.

Ya those are the race cars that Acura has. They are all TSX's and RSX's I have some pics of some. I'll post them if I can find them. They race on Road Coarses all over.

That's cool! They were just racing in Detroit, guess it took them a while to pack everything up.

Then it wouldn't be a race car. All the a-spec is are a bunch of overpriced style options. That is where Acura failed. get mugen into the mix already! Toyota has TRD, Nissan has NISMO, Mitsu has Ralli-art. Come on already.

Yea, comptech was great in terms of delivering some high performance options for both Honda and Acura's. And MUCH more affordable compared to Mugen. I haven't seen many items or seen people modify their Acura's with Spoon parts compared to people using their parts for Hondas. I guess there are fewer parts that are interchangeable between the models even though they are so closely related under the hood in many cases.

When it gets close to Indy Weekend(Memorial day weekend) if the race teams are coming from the north or south they'll run on I-75 which i live maybe 5 miles from. I'll see Indy car haulers around that time heading south to catch 70 Westbound. I've seen Danica's hauler a few times on the road.
