HIGHLIGHTS OF STREET TUNER RACE (ROUND 4) AT VIR

Highlights of the Grand-Am race at VIR, which Zach Lutz and Ryan Eversley won in our #75 Honda. #74 with David Thilenius and Lawson Aschenbach ran most of the race in a strong second place, but had to stop for a quick splash of fuel, dropping them to fourth. They still lead the championship, but only but six points. #76 finished ninth at the hands of Alex Kirby and Carlos Tesler-Mabe, while #77 was fighting for sixth when it was spun out and into a tire wall. Driver Greg Liefooghe was unhurt; he and co-driver Jesse Combs were classified 17th.

LUTZ AND EVERSLEY WIN VIR: ZACH’S RACE REPORT

Virginia International Raceway is one of those “driver’s tracks” as they say… A statement I will have to agree with. It takes some fortitude to be able to hold the throttle down through the uphill eases for just that little extra bit and throw the car down into the ‘roller-coaster’ to get quick lap times and stay up front. Having only been to one other event at VIR prior to this weekend I knew it was going to take some work to get quick. Luckily, it didn’t take too much. Within a few practice sessions and some minor changes we had the car dialed in perfectly and laying down top 3 lap times. It is such a pleasure to drive a car that is sorted so well!

The result marks the pair’s best result in the Continental Tire Sports Car Challenge.

(Leeds, AL)—Continental Tire Sports Car Challenge Street Tuner Champions Compass360 hope to extend their points lead as the third round of the series kicks off at the picturesque Barber Motorosports Park in Birmingham, Alabama this weekend.

David Thilenius and Lawson Aschenbach, who co-drive the team’s #74 Honda Civic Si, currently have a seven-point advantage of their closest rival thanks to a win at Daytona International Speedway in January and a hard-fought second place at Homestead-Miami in March.
