Whenever you get a group of ECOtec enthusiasts together at a racetrack you know a great time is in store! This past weekend we hosted a GM VIP ECOtec Owners meet at the Mid Ohio Sports Course in the midst of a KONI Challenge race. We had such a great initial response for registration for this event and some owners came from as far away as Ontario, Canada and Tennessee to take part in the festivities so we didn’t want to disappoint. It was a beautiful Sunday morning at the Mid Ohio Sports Course and once we had the owners parked in our VIP corral we got everyone together to go over all the great things we had in store for them. We started the day with Dwight Woodbridge, GM Racing Program Manager for Grand-Am KONI Challenge, guiding the owners throughout all the GM race teams pit areas and introducing the VIP guests to the drivers, engineers and mechanics at all the various teams. The owners had unbridled one-on-one access to all the staff and were free to ask all the questions they could think of. The Georgian Bay Motorsports team had a special treat planned for the VIP guests and had set up a display with various carbon fiber parts they use on the track and had the stock parts next to them so the owners could see the weight difference between the two parts. They didn’t leave it at that though; the GBM team also performed a full pit stop for the owners, complete with a driver change, so the owners could see exactly what goes on during the change. For an even closer look at the KONI Challenge Series Cobalt’s we headed on over to the Predator Auto Sport pit. At the Predator pit, the team lifted their Cobalt five feet into the air so the owners could see all the under workings of the race car, including the carbon fiber brake cooling ducts! After all the excitement we headed back to the VIP area where everyone was treated to a catered lunch and even the Cobalt drivers stopped by to get some food and sit down with owners and talk to them. Inside of the VIP area we set up 4 Turbocharged SS vehicles, including a ‘09 Cobalt SS Coupe, with the new reconfigurable display (More on this display here soon - keep your eyes open for a post here on it.), along with 2 ‘09 Cobalt SS Sedans and an ‘08 HHR SS. We even left the keys in the cars so all the owners could rev them up and get a feeling of new LNF turbocharged engine! We like to take care of our owners and give them the opportunity to experience things they never would have the chance to, so we organized a little something special for the most hardcore of our VIP guests. We rewarded the first 24 ECOtec owners that showed up with the opportunity to be official Grand Marshals and set up the starting grid for the race. Each owner got a row number and paraded onto the track to set up the grid. As the track officials started the race our VIP owners were up right there next to the KONI Challenge cars as they zoomed by ready to tackle the Mid Ohio Sports Course. Overall it was a great day had by all and we can’t thank our owners enough for their enthusiasm throughout the entire day and of course CobaltSS.net for bringing everyone together.
. We had an excellent response from all of our owners with over 42 cars in the group that turned out. We are definitely going to have more of these events. Keep tuned to www.GMTunerSource.com for more information on that.
