HRE Wheels in Motorsport

HRE Wheels since it's inception has had a motorsport presence in the US. In fact, HRE was founded as a motorsports brand over 30 years ago. Many assume that HRE is a street performance wheel brand due to our overwhelming success in that genre over the past couple decades. We had not previously promoted our racing involvement and thought I would share our recent achievements in the Motorsport world.

Too keep this concise, here is a short listing of some of our most recent Motorsport activities with which most of you are probably unaware.
  • 2011 Pikes Peak- 1st Place & New World Record 2011 - Monster Tajima
  • 2011 Pikes Peak 2nd Place - Rhys Millen Racing
  • 2011 Global Rallycross Championship/X-Games - Rhys Millen Racing
  • 2010 Formula Drift Champion - Vaughn Gittin Jr./Falken Tire
  • 2011 Formula Drift 2nd Place - Justin Pawlak/Falken Tire
  • 2011 American Le Mans - West Racing Lamborghini - Limited Schedule
  • 2011 American Iron Northwest Region Champion - Chris Cobetto
  • 2010 Texas Mile 249.7 MPH - Heffner Performance Ford GT
  • 2010 Texas Mile 247.7 MPH - Autobanh Toyota Supra
  • 2010 Grand Am Championship - GS Class - Fall Line Motorsports
  • 2009/2010 Grand Am 24 Hr. of Daytona - 1st Place GS Class - Rum Bum Racing
  • 2009-2011 Time Attack - Multiple track and class records - Chris Rado Scion TC

Yes we did have an issue with the West Racing Lambo. Obviously companies go racing to learn from success and failures. Which in turn helps us learn and improve. The ALMS race takes vehicles to very high limits, especially in a chassis like the Lamborghini. In contrast to other chassis being raced in that series.
