Beloit, Wis. May 1, 2010: The off season didn’t take any post Runoff’s momentum away from Stehly Racing and their Kumho Tire sponsored Touring 3 VW GTI. Starting their year at Blackhawk Farms Raceway for the Blackhawk Valley Double National on April 30-1st, the team doubled up race groups and ran both in Touring 3 and Super Touring, ending the weekend with three 1st and one 2nd place finish while managing to set a new T3 track record.
According to driver Aaron Stehly “ We had two goals for this event. First was to drive as much as possible and use the extra time to feel out our new (wider) Kumho V710 tire selection. Our second goal was to break the track record in Touring 3. Having only rotated the tires prior to the start of the 3rd race, and setting the new lap record at that time, we are ecstatic about what the V710 has to offer. The tire was consistently fast and predictable with clear feedback. We logged just over 200 race miles in two days on the same set of tires and they have yet to fall off like other tires we have used in past years.”
Keeping their focus on the 2010 Runoffs Championship, the team is diligently prepping the car for the next event, the Cat nationals on May 21-23rd at Road America in Elkhart Lake Wis.
