Dayton OH, October 1, 2010 – It has been a highly successful year for us in this season's Rolex and Continental Tire series of Grand-Am. It all started with a sneak peak during testing at Daytona in January of this year where we got to preview all the new machines. All teams showed signs of great potential and we were excited to see the battle throughout the year.
Turner Motorsport was very proactive in developing efficient pit strategies to maximize track time. They debuted their newly built BMW M6 in the GT class Rolex series which was equipped with our popular ZX3R's. The M6 had a rough start in the beginning of the season with technical issues but still managed to finish in 11th overall and pulled a 1st place finish in round 8 at the EMCO Gears Classic event which was held in our own backyard of Ohio. In the Continental Tire Series, Turner upgraded vehicles from their E46 to E92 M3's this season and they dominated the GS class, which led to the #97 M3 finishing the season off in 2nd place and just shy 6 points away from 1st. Equipped with our EV3R's, the Turner M3's prevailed with multiple podium finishes throughout the series which also included several 1st place finishes.
Stevenson Motorsports also debuted their newly built Camaro's GT.R’s and made a strong finish - putting their #57 car in a strong overall 3rd place in the GT class of the Rolex series. The #97 GT.R Camaro also held its presence finishing in 5th with 277 points overall. With the support of Stevenson Motorsports GT program, we were able to produce our newest competition wheel - the GA3R. Both GT.R Camaro's were equipped with our GA3R's and it proved worthy to be named our best wheel ever with the success of this season with Stevenson Motorsports. Stevenson's highlight of the series was probably in the very last round at Miller Motorsports Park at the Utah 250 where both Stevenson GT.R Camaro's dominated the track and took home a podium sweep of 1st and 2nd place - a phenomenal ending to a great season for Stevenson Motorsports. The popular Sunoco Camaro's of the Stevenson
Motorsports team in the GS class ran the series on our EV3R which led the #6 Camaro to finish in 8th overall and the #9 Camaro finished in 16th overall.
Banner Racing made an impressive finish in the Grand Touring class at 7th place overall with 275 points. The Banner Racing Corvette Z06 raced in the top 10 with our ever popular ZX3R. Piloting the Z06 was Paul Edwards, who finished off the season in 13th overall with 275 points among the driver standings and took the #07 Z06 to multiple podium finishes - including a win at Montreal. The Racers Edge Motorsports RX8 also had a great season, with multiple front row starts and finishing 10th place overall with 243 points on our EV3R. The RX8 claimed podium victory at the Porsche 250 and the EMCO Gears Classic to highlight their season. LG Motorsports came over from the American Lemans Series to race their newly built Z06 Corvette. The team showed a lot of promise running up front in many outings, but had a lot of bad luck in their first year of Grand-Am. Look for them to be a top running team in 2011.
The season wrap up and results were exceeded beyond our expectations and we couldn't be any happier. Preparations for the 2011 season is already under way as we help assist our partnered teams with their wheel needs for their race programs. Testing for the 2011 season already starts this month at Virginia International Raceway and the 2011 season kick off will start at the traditional venue of Daytona International Speedway on January 27, 2011. We are excited to see what happens in the following season and look forward to applying our continued experience and knowledge to our products to bring you the best wheels we can produce.
