The Chop Top Challenge is a road rally where teams compete to get the most points while traveling in a car that they chopped the top off of. History:
“Back in 2005, my brother Luke bought an ’89 Honda CRX that he called The 600, because that is how much he bought it for. At some point, he sold it to me and I loved it for a few years and then sold it to my good friend Nick. When Nick told me that i
t broke down and he was going to tow it to the junkyard, I convinced him that he should let us have it instead. I had always wanted a CRX convertible, so we chopped the top off it. It had a windshield for a while, until 28 people got on top of it at West Michigan Honda Meet and smashed the crap out of the windshield. It made more sense to chop that off too rather than replace the windshield, so that’s what we did. My bro and I always talked about doing a proper road trip in the Chop Top. Since we are both teachers, Spring Break seemed like the best time to do it. Miami made the most sense due to its warm climate, love of exotic vehicles, and epic parties. In April of 2015, we embarked on this journey. It was the coldest drive we’ve ever been on. At least until we got to Atlanta. Then it was awesome. We wanted to share that experience with others. So in 2016, we held the first ever Chop Top Challenge with ten teams willing to compete. It was a humbling experience. We now want to share that experience with you.”
