FGA SPEEDS TO MORE RACING VICTORIES IN SPORTS CARS WHILE ALSO PREPARING FOR BIKE TOUR/RACE CLASSICS

NICK FLUGE DRIVES TO DOUBLE WEEKEND WINS IN IMPROVED TOURING, MATT CRANDALL ALSO FINDS THE WINNERS CIRCLE IN GT2

On the eve of what promises to be one of the biggest cycling weeks of the year, Nick Fluge, took time to spend the July 4^th weekend at the Independence Day SCCA road racing Championships. His Saturday and Sunday joint wins solidified his leadership in both the Improved Touring (E) and the Super Touring classes of Sports Car Club of America road racing championship series.

Fluge’s Z06 wasted little time taking a commanding class lead in each race and moved on quickly to victory. Matt Crandall also drove to record lap times in the GT2 class in the Panoz GTS. With only 3 championship events remaining on the calendar in August, September, and October, team FGA looks to be well on its way to another successful season. Todd Harris, coming off a top finish at Road America in the Derhaag Fluge Team car underscores the strength of the team. A new 4^th member, Spence Gatrell, top junior driver has also successfully moved into ranks of national favorites by finishing 2^nd behind Fluge in his black ‘top gun’ FGA Corvette.

BIKING CLASSICS – TWO GREAT EVENTS FOR FGA

Fluge begins the magical mystery stationary bike tour on Monday and Tuesday planning to outlast various training professionals in a 200 mile, 2 day endeavor. Troy Carter, FGA VO2 Max Specialist spent the holiday weekend on the Oregon coast practicing open road biking for the week ending 200 mile Seattle to Portland Super Bike Classic. Check back in a week to see how our two member bike team fairs.
