This is a quote from the Kingmotorsports.com page under the "about link".

http://www.kingmotorsports.com/about.asp
"""But this time King Motorsports had the help of Mugen Co., Ltd.! Mugen, meaning "Without Limit," is owned by the son of Mr. Soichiro Honda, Hirotoshi Honda. Mugen was founded in 1973 and had become hugely successful in Asia and Japan winning EVERY race series they entered and producing the finest performance products for Honda automobiles"""


The link below is a brief history of Soichiro Honda the founder of honda.

Did you know he got his start at Toyota?
If you did then you are "Honda Car Crazy"..
