As many of you know, we sponsor Rally Car Driver, Dillon Van Way. This has been a great season for Dillon and we are thrilled to be a part of it! Check out the details of his latest race:
“Current Super Production class leader, Dillon Van Way, extends his Championship lead by securing a class win and a third place overall finish at last weekend’s Mt. Washington Hillclimb in Gorham, NH.
Dillon and the DVW600 team did their homework before heading into this event and it paid off. “The whole team really put a lot into preparing for the event. Andrew (co-driver) and I left immediately from the Susquehannock Trail Performance Rally to recce the mountain and spent enough days doing it that we had experienced the road in all conditions,” mentions Van Way. “We also spent a lot of time getting the car right for the event and even ran a smaller hillclimb event as a shakedown. With all the prep we put into this event, I felt we were very prepared!”
The Super Production 2013 Subaru STI Van Way campaigns in the series isn’t exactly an ideal entry for a hillclimb event based on the steep grade and relatively low power of the car but the team proved that a powerful car is only half the battle. “We knew we weren’t going to be setting any records and we are happy with our stage times. We really just wanted to have clean runs all weekend and that’s what we focused on in the car,” said Dillon.
This win further solidifies Dillon’s lead in the Super Production Championship and keeps him in second place in the overall Championship right behind David Higgins.”
