 Michael
Maier kicked off the 2004 season with great momentum from the previous year.
During the 2003 season Michael laid claim to the American Auto-X championship,
which consisted of 14 races. He won all but two that resulted in second
place finishes. Michael also won the SCCA Solo2 National tour event at Atwater,
California. He finished the season in 2nd place by only a tenth of a second
at the Solo2 Nationals in Topeka Kansas, which featured 57 other entries
from all over the U.S. in the C Prepared class. |
 The
2004 season further proved that 2003 was not a stroke of luck. This year
Michael Maier started the season at the SCCA tour event in San Diego,
California with a trophy finish in fourth place. The following SCCA tour
event took place in Atwater, California presenting Michael with home track
advantage. He was quick to capitalize
on his position and took first place home that weekend. During the summer
of 2004 he was also running the American Auto-X Series, consisting of
16 races. He dominated all but 3 races where he finished 2nd, 3rd, and
4th, respectively. Just before the end of the season Michael made his
way to the Solo 2 National runoffs in Topeka Kansas. His trip was an eventful
one with Michael capturing the national championship by overcoming 45
other entries in the C Prepared class. Finalizing the year he ran the
last weekend of American Auto-X series and clinched the series for a second
year in a row. |
| For
the 2005 season Michael Maier is making some changes to the power train
in his 1993 C Prepared Mustang GT. He is also performing some suspension
refinements to stay ahead of the game. While this is happening Michael is
also gearing up to build a 2005 Mustang for the C Prepared class bringing
forth a completely new approach to Auto-X chassis setup. Check the Auto-X
