LG Motorsports ZR1 update from the Spectre 341 Hill Climb, day one
Hey guys,
I'm working on the hotel computer, and it isn't letting me post pictures but I do have some on our Facebook site.
We came back to the hill this year to defend last year's title for LG Motorsports, ZR1, and Corvette! So far we have more than done so by leading the field by over 5.5 seconds in only 3 attempts up the hill today.
Lou has been on his game and the car has been working very very well for us with some new parts that will be offered shortly!
Today's run best was a 3.14:4 compared to last years 3.21:8 (if I remember right). We have a lot of video that we will have once we get back to the office.
Big thanks to ForgeLine for the new wheels this year on the car as well. The 19" GA3R wheels have preformed awesome!

Outstanding.
Fly low. Fly fast. Keep it between the ditches (and other bad stuff).

Hi Guys,
Our Time held up and we won the event. I was on a new fast lap that was 2 seconds faster than our previous time when I had to stop to miss Aaron Pfadt crashed in the middle of the road.
He was lucky that he crashed on a left hander and hit the mountain because had he crashed on a right hander, he would have been flying down the 200+ foot cliff.
I managed to miss his car in the middle of the road and I found exactly 75 inches of space on the mountain side of the crash and slipped through without a scratch to my car.
At any rate, that time would have been in the 12's and we would have won by a large margin. BUT we had to stand on our morning time of 3:14.4. This allowed the 2300 pound Porsche turbo to get down to 3:15.1 to make it close. But we still won.
Our ZR1 also won the top speed award, hitting 148 on this track with no real straights.
We have great in car video coming soon, including the near miss of the pfadt Camaro.
Thanks a lot guys
