2006 One Lap of America Event Report In their
first attempt at the Cannonball One Lap of
America, the Honda of America Racing Team (HART)
not only walked away with the Economy Class win,
but also took 4th Overall in the highly
competitive 88 car field! HART team members
Bryan Johnson and Jon Midgley competed in a
specially prepared 2006 Honda Civic Si. The 2006
One Lap consisted of 17 scored events at 9 tracks
in 8 days, with over 4500 miles of road driving
between tracks. The One Lap rules require that
the entire event, both road and track driving, be
completed on one set of street tires. The team
chose Michelin Pilot Sport PS2s, which provided
outstanding wet and dry grip with minimal
wear. The keys to success for HART were thorough
preparation, consistently fast driving, and 100
reliability from the Civic Si. The top three
overall finishers had over 500 HP, and many of
the cars that were beaten by HART were modified
high-powered cars such as Vipers, Corvettes,
Porsches, and Nobles. Rain on the last two days
also helped HART move up in the overall standings
as some of the high-powered rear-wheel-drive cars
struggled to find traction. There were several
very long drives during the week, including an
1100 mile overnight drive from Mid-America
Motorplex near Omaha, NE to No Problem Raceway
near New Orleans, LA. The HART 2006 Civic Si was
a terrific car for the One Lap, with a solid
balance of power, handling, and braking. A
Jackson Racing supercharger was added to the
stock 2.0L iVTEC engine along with a DC Sports
exhaust and AEM cold-air intake, boosting output
from 197 HP to 258 HP. An Exedy Stage 2 clutch
and lightweight flywheel were added to handle the
additional power. Koni double-adjustable struts
and dampers, and a Progress Technology 22 mm rear
anti-roll-bar were fitted to improve handling.
Hawk Performance DTC brake pads were added to
handle the extreme brake temperatures of track
driving. The team also lightened the car by 200
lb with the help of carbon-fiber hood and trunk
panels from Seibon, and a custom carbon-fiber
sunroof replacement panel made by HART and Algie
Composites. The factory installed Honda
Navigation system helped guide the team as they
drove across the Eastern half of the US, and the
comfort of the all-new Civic interior helped the
team stay rested and ready to race. All of the
factory safety equipment was retained, including
the front, side, and side-curtain airbags for
maximum protection during the 4500 miles of road
driving. First in class and 4th Overall were
outstanding results in a very competitive field,
proving the potential of the new Civic Si, and
HARTs capabilities for car and event
preparation. HART would like to thank Honda of
America Manufacturing for providing the
opportunity to pursue the Honda Racing Spirit,
and the companies that provided products,
services, and expertise Koni North America,
Jackson Racing, Exedy USA, Hawk Performance, AEM,
DC Sports, Progress Technology, Algie Composites,
DEI/CryO2 and The Paintin Place.
