Team Emich at Mid-Ohio - Pirelli World Challenge Results

The Emich Racing team did extremely well last weekend at the Pirelli World Challenge race at Mid-Ohio.

Fred Emich had to change engines and start at the back of the pack, yet finished 7th in the first race!  The second race was a rain-soaked mess.  After some impressive wet weather driving, he finished 10th.

Our newest team member, Travis Wolcott, made his Pro racing debut with us and managed to qualify and finish his first race in 2nd place!  Incredible job!  He also managed to finish 8th in the rain on Sunday.

Overall, a good weekend for the team!

Volkswagen Passat Earns Ideal Vehicle Award

From VW.com


The Chattanooga, Tennessee-built Volkswagen Passat has earned yet another distinct recognition during this, its first year on sale. In addition to being awarded top-rated premium mid-size car in the Autobytel and AutoPacific 2012 Vehicle Satisfaction Awards, the Passat was also recognized as the Most Ideal Premium Mid-Size Car for 2012 as part of AutoPacific’s New Vehicle Satisfaction Survey. Additionally, owner respondents voted the Golf hatch as the Most Ideal Compact Car.

The Ideal Vehicle Awards (IVA) are unique from other automotive awards given each year in that they are based on owner input to a survey that measures any changes that the owners would make to their new vehicle. Questions are based on 15 key vehicle attributes such as exterior styling, passenger roominess, and cargo space. Over 75,000 owners across all manufacturers were surveyed—after having purchased their 2012 model vehicle between September and December 2011 and after driving their vehicle for 90 days.

“The significance of the Ideal Vehicle Awards is that they identify the automotive manufacturers that are listening to their buyers when updating and developing their latest cars,” said George Peterson, President of AutoPacific. “The IVAs are awarded to those vehicles whose owners like them just the way they are.”
