Building a competitive heads-up racing program is a multifaceted project with an infinite number of details that cannot be overlooked. From the driveline to the suspension, everything must be sorted out to the highest level for the car to go rounds on race day. When it comes to proven suspension parts, Team Z Motorsports provides products and support that helps any heads-up racing program. Recently their products made it all the way to the final round at the Shakedown At The Summit on two different cars in X275.

Any race like The Shakedown is a true battle for teams in classes like X275, because there’s no such thing an easy win at this level, so being prepared is key. Darren Hilterbran knows this better than anybody, as he competes in multiple classes with his familiar Mustang. Having consistent performance is what drives his winning ways. Using a Team Z 9-inch rearend housing makes putting the power down reliably an easy task for Hilterbran at the track.

At the Shakedown, Hilterbran was able to secure the number two qualifyingspot, and even took down the top qualifier Jamie Stanton in the semi-final round. When it was time to race for the money, Hilterbran had to take on Trace Meyer, another tough X275 racer, who also uses Team Z parts, including their 9-inch rearend. When the smoke cleared from their battle, Hilterbran picked up another win with Team Z on board.

Having two racers make it to the final round at a prominent event like the Shakedown is a testament to the quality Team Z provides to their customers. If you want to take your own car to the next level, make sure to hit up Team Z Motorsports’ website and see all their great suspension offerings!
