5th Place Finish for Honda of America Racing Team

Bryan Johnson drove the Honda of America Racing Team’s 2006 Honda Civic SI to 5th place out of 11 entrants in the Unlimited Class of the Redline Time Attack at Virginia International Raceway. Two more cars entered Day 2 after missing Day 1, both rear-wheel drive, keeping HART the only entrant in the front-wheel drive subclass.

We spoke with Bryan and he thinks that he would have been able to beat the other front wheel drives, had they shown up. He has some ideas to speed things up and dominate the front-wheel drive class next year.

The car has the following:

• Sleeved block K24
• forged pistons and rods
• unported TSX head
• 06 TSX intake cam
• RSX-S exhaust cam

Not only did the car finish with a great time, but it avoided the fate of several cars which dropped out of the race through collisions, mechanical failures, electrical failures and other nasty issues.

Bryan chats with a race fan:
