Reindl Finishes Season on Top at Packwood ProSolo

Reindl Finishes Season on Top at Packwood ProSolo

 

PACKWOOD, Wash. (Aug. 28, 2007) - The Tire Rack(r) SCCA ProSolo series
wrapped up its regular season this past weekend at Hampton Mills under
the watchful gaze of Mt. Rainer. 

 

Unlike The Tire Rack SCCA Solo National Tour that breezed through the
area the previous weekend, the Packwood ProSolo was blessed with dry,
albeit cool, weather all weekend. The low temps and tight Karen
Babb-designed courses seemed to give a slight edge to the all-wheel
drive entrants, with six AWD cars taking class wins and seven finishing
runner-up.

 

Not so in the Hawk Super Challenge however, where the D Stock
RapidHosting.com Acura Integra of Kinch Reindl, from Denver, Colo.,
faced off against the Kumho/Forgeline Pontiac Solstice of C Stock winner
Mike Lillejord, of Redmond, Wash. "Fast Mike," gave Reindl everything he
had, even spinning out in the finish box on his final run, but Reindl
sped away the victor.

 

Reindl nearly pulled a sweep of the Honda Tuner Challenge as well, but
was outfoxed by Street Touring(r) S winner Kevin McCormick, of Lincoln,
Calif., in his Kumho/HAP/America's Tire/Bilstein Honda Civic Si.

 

Ladies 2 class winner, Christine Berry, of Alta Loma, Calif., who also
started her ProSolo season with a Ladies 2 victory at El Toro, marched
through the Ladies Challenge to victory in her Mitsubishi Evo.

 

The Bonus Challenge was sweet redemption for Allan Zacharda, of
Sherwood, Ore., who had placed last in the super competitive D Street
Prepared class, but piloted his Mini Cooper S to the Challenge win.

 

B Stock was the tightest contest of the event, the lead exchanging hands
with each round. The AXAnalyst/Austin-Soft.com Nissan 350Z of Glenn
Austin, from Snoqualmie, Wash., held the lead at the conclusion of
Saturday's runs, but Matthew Braun, of Northville, Mich., in a PowerPlug
Mazda RX-8 wrestled away the win in his final run by a mere
0.081-second.

 

Even more frantic lead changes occurred in the Ladies 1 class, where the
top five were separated by 0.731-second. Come Sunday, Kristi Brown, of
Des Moines, Wash., emerged the winner in a K&K Racing/Team BH/Jim's
Detail Shop Mini Cooper S.

 

With the regular season over, ProSolo competitors now begin preparations
for The Tire Rack (r) SCCA ProSolo National Championship, Sept. 21 - 22,
at Heartland Park Topeka. For more ProSolo information, including full
