History
The 2007 SPEED World Challenge GT season was a rousing success for Series rookie Cindi Lux and past winner Scotty B. White. They came to terms with the Dodge Viper Competition Coupes that differed significantly to the Dodge Viper SRT-10 road car-based machines they used to dominate SCCA Club Racing in 2005 and ’06. Entries from Porsche, Corvette and the factory-backed Cadillac programs set the bar high for everyone involved and the new environment benefited high-dollar, factory-backed teams. However, the Northwest-based program stayed focused and took advantage when the learning curve began to level. Once they had momentum, they kept it and bettered their results every race to close the year with their best finishes of the season.
