Orion takes pole at Nuerb!
January 14th, 2008
The Orion Race Team kicked off the season at SSCA with a strong showing in the GT Class. Frosty St.Clair put the Orion Race Team Aston on pole by over 4 tenths to 2nd place, and set 3 laps in the session that would have been on pole. The team went on to finish a very solid third with all of the drivers doing an amazing job. Strong stints by Julien Dill, Chris Sommerfeld, and Chris Gennarelli give the Orion Race Team a good start to a long season!
Unfortunately bad luck in the LMP car caused an earlier retirement after failed attempts at driver swaps. Shawn Purdy did an amazing job holding down 2nd place in the event until the failure, driving for over 4 hours. The team finally finished the day in 10th, after dropping out just passed half way.
