Congratulations to Scott Smith for winning the SPEC Z racing series with the GreenZ!

After earning his SCCA license Scott started competing in the SPEC Z series with his silver race car and eventually prepared the GreenZ to finish the season.  Scott had a small team consisting of himself and his sidekicks Al and J. You could catch these three practicing at open track days like Thunderhill or Laguna Seca trying to dial the car in and find weak spots(see wheel bearing failure below!).

 

Here’s a video clip from a SPECZ race at Thunderhill:

Scott would like to thank Z Car Garage, William’s, CityTech, Evil Genius, NISMO and BFG. Great driving Scott, we are proud of you!
