H23 Wont Start, And Backfires Help

Today i took my car out and around 5k rpm it started to hesitate and it slowly started to do it at lower rpms as i drove it more.

i parked it and now it wont start at all, i have spark and gas, i cheked it and it is backfiring and poping out the exhaust as i try to start it, only about every 5 sec. though

About a month ago i had trouble starting it but as i hit the feul relay under the dash it started and hasn't been a problem since. I can hear and feel it click when i turn on the key.

I race this car on a dirt track, it is an all stock '93 Prelude H23 5 spd

Any help would be appreiated as i am not real framiliar with Honda's
