With a wide range of adjustable suspension geometry and an Explicit Speed Performance traction bar, Dunn has all he needs to maximize his chances on the road course. Further adding to his road-course edge, Dunn is an accredited NASA driving instructor, with loads of track day and club racing experience.
With a stock H22A4 rated at only 195hp, it may seem that Dunn is outgunned by the Supras and Skylines making perennial appearances in the USCC. But even if he is undermatched in many events, we're sure he's checked every angle and clocked every advantage. Plus, with engineering panel, ride quality, base price, and other real-world concerns factored into the USCC, you never know where Dunn may finish.
This is a guy who admits that splicing the wiring harnesses between cars was "one of the more enjoyable jobs" of the build; a guy who studied up on DMV statutes and met with DMV inspectors to ensure he could title and sell the car if he wished; a guy who grafted a Prelude interior-HVAC, center console, wiper and turn signal stalks, and all-into an Integra body, even down to adapting Prelude window and mirror control to the Integra door panels. If any competitor can find a hidden advantage in the USCC format, we're confident it's Dunn.
