- Holtger Motorsports Becomes a Serious Contender in Light Buggy
- September 1, 2009
-
- Coleman, WI - The family team of Holtger Motorsports has
always made sure that their time at the race track was fun. In 2009
they have had fun finishing on the podium. The three racer team of
Stephanie and Craig Paitl (husband and wife) and Bryan Holtger
(Stephanie's brother), has seen steady improvement all year long.
The team's unappointed leader, Stephanie enjoys the time behind the
wheel of the #144 HBI IMCI Goodyear Buggy and much as she does
hanging out at the track with family and friends. The guys on the
team split their driving duties every weekend and have their own
competition between themselves as well as with the other twenty
competitors in their class.
-
- Early in the
season, you would see all three Holtger drivers discussing and
making changes to their buggy's suspension, looking for that
competitive edge. The hard work on and off the track has paid off as
2009 has been the team's best season, with eight of the ten rounds
completed in the TORC SRT Light Buggy Championship, the team has
five top-6 finishes including two runner up finishes and one win!
- "We come out
here to have fun, but we want to be competitive and finish up
front," remarked Craig Paitl. "Steph and Bryan's dad raced when
they were kids, I met Steph thanks to racing, and we always have
friends and family at track. We kid each other on who finished
better every weekend and we always go home with a smile."
-
The final weekend of the TORC SRT Light Buggy
Championship is this weekend in Crandon, Wisconsin.
Don't be surprised if you see Holtger
Motorsports back on the box during the 40th anniversary celebration of
off-road racing event.

looking for another podium finish. The blue and white Light Buggy did
just that with a second place finish. Meanwhile wife Stephanie, had a
flat tire, forcing a green flag pit stop. The time in the pits put her
a lap down, relegating the #144 HBI Catco Buggy to a fifteenth
place finish.

Round 8 saw the #100 Light Buggy with Bryan Holtger driving, continued
its string of strong finishes in the largest and most competitive

best finish on the season, eleventh.

Round 5 saw Bryan Holtger find the top of the podium for the first
time in his off-road racing career. Bryan' s flag to flag win was not
without incident. The last three laps saw Jamie Kleikamp do everything
possible, including a few taps to Bryan's rear bumper, but the Holtger
Motorsports #100 Light Buggy took the impressive win. Meantime,
sister, Stephanie Paitl in the #144 Single Buggy, suffered a front
suspension failure early in the round that ended her evening early.

-
Round 6 had the husband and wife team out on the track. Craig Paitl in
the #100 Light Buggy and wife Stephanie, in the familiar #144.
On the last lap Craig was battling for a Top 10 finish when the
buggy rolled, due in part to contact from another racer, demoting him
to a fifteenth place finish. Meanwhile, Stephanie drove a smart and
clean race, staying on the lead lap, finishing in the fourteenth spot.
