In his debut event on AST 4100s, Jeff Wirtz of Round Rock, TX pulled off a sweep at the NASA event at Motorsport Ranch. Jeff was always a top finisher last year, but with ASTs on the car Jeff put multiple seconds on the field in 4 of 4 races. This included inverted starts where he passed the whole field in the opening laps! The only car faster than Wirtz’s 3rd Gen Camaro was a fully prepped Mustang AIX classed car (a much faster class).
Camaro Mustang Challenge is a popular class in NASA that is growing especially in the Texas Region. Wirtz was able to drive a competitor’s car in practice, a car having twin tube shocks. “I felt bumps on the track with the twin tubes that I didn’t even know were there with the ASTs,” said Wirtz. AST’s monotube technology can provide forces greater than many lower end shocks without the harshness most drivers experience.
Congrats to Jeff in his first event with the shocks. Stay tuned for the April event at TWS in College Station!
