The Pirelli Drivers Cup USA series returned to the Portland Rose Cup Race event as invited guests to be a featured race and were recognized for their very competitive but clean racing by all in attendance.
Rookie driver Steve Streimer drove his 2004 996 Cup Car to two podium class finishes during the double race weekend. Qualifying 3rd in both races, he diced his way up to a pair of 2nd place finishes. Making the performance of Streimer’s Porsche even more impressive is the extensive repairs by Lux Performance Group that were required after an unfortunate accident at Miller Motorsports Park a few weeks prior. But Steve put that behind him and finished the weekend with his highest finishing result in his short but impressive career.
ALOHA, Ore., June 9, 2011 - Portland-area Pirelli Porsche Cup driver Steve Streimer has once again tapped the services of Lux Performance Group, LLC for prepping his Porsche GT3 Cup racer for rounds 7 and 8, being held in conjunction with the Portland Rose Festival Rose Cup Races at Portland International Raceway. The partnership between Lux Performance and Steve Streimer goes back several years to when Streimer took lessons from Lux Performance head Cindi Lux.
Streimer raced in his first Pirelli Porsche Cup race at Portland International Raceway just last year, and he's back at his home track looking to avenge an unfortunate accident at the start of the fourth-round Pirelli Porsche Cup race at Miller Motorsports Park just a few weeks ago. Streimer finished third in the third round event just the day before, and is looking to be back on the podium at Portland.
Lux Performance has an outstanding history of preparing for Rose Cup races. In 2009, they prepped Cindi Lux's Dodge Viper Competition Coupe to a class win at the late Spring festival event. Being Cindi's home track and with her on the radio, both Streimer and Lux Performance are anxious to take the green flag.
