APEX EC-7 || Official Wheel of SCCA Nationals Spec Mustang (SMG)

[Apex Wheels]

It’s official! The APEX 18x10” ET43 EC-7 Mustang Wheel is now the official wheel of the SCCA Nationals Spec Mustang (SMG) series. Spec Mustang is a growing road racing class in the SCCA (Sports Car Club of America) that utilizes the 2005-2009 S197 Ford Mustang GT. Drivers are attracted to this exhilarating series due to its ability to deliver a competitive racing environment where driver skill is paramount, and initial build and running maintenance costs are controlled by strict specifications.

Our Flow Formed EC-7 Mustang wheel is a perfect fit for the series due to its durability, superior brake clearance, and weight optimization. This wheel also carries an affordable price tag, synonymous with the Spec Mustang mantra. The APEX team is proud to be on board, and we look forward to sharing more of this exciting road racing series throughout the year within this thread.

SCCA Nationals Spec Mustang Series Update

Here are some updates from the SCCA Nationals Spec Mustang Series. We’d like to give a big congrats to Roger Eagleton Racing for his 1st Place finish in the Hoosier Racing Tire SCCA Super Tour at Buttonwillow Raceway Park a few weekends ago. Roger ran a square setup of our APEX 18x10" ET43 EC-7 wheels.






REGIONAL 1 & 2 @ THUNDERHILL
MARCH 3-4, 2018



“Looks like it was another exciting weekend racing the Spec Mustang with Sports Car Club of America – San Francisco Region at Thunderhill Raceway! The group as a whole is getting faster, with AV8 Supercars drivers Clark Nunes, Ken Pederson and Don Van Nortwick locking out the top three spots in qualifying for the start of race # 1! Additionally, last years championship runner-up, Mike Lowe, posted his fastest time EVER around the track in his new Spec Mustang during race # 2!” ~Spec Mustang


REGIONAL 3 & 4 @ LAGUNA SECA
MARCH 16-18, 2018



“Spec Mustang family member Clark Nunes draws first blood at the National level with his win at Willow Springs International Raceway this past weekend for the SCCA Majors event!”~Spec Mustang


MAJOR @ THUNDERHILL
APRIL 7-8, 2018



“Man oh man, what a weekend of racing!! The Spec Mustang’s really put on a show this weekend running in the SCCA Majors presented by Casino Fandango, where they ran in their National “T2” Class trim which makes them eligible for the upcoming Sonoma SCCA Runoffs 2018. The group had some heavy hitters out with Addison Lee, Roger Eagleton, Beau Borders, David Ray, Clark Nunes, Ken Pederson & Russ Peterson all bringing their “A” game and putting on a great display of close racing that left the announcer and spectators breathless for a large part of the race! Beau Borders and Willow Springs race winner Clark Nunes stole the show with their 35 minutes of back and forth racing that was ultimately decided by a smart set up and pass on the last corner of the last lap with Beau Borders just edging out Clark for position. Upfront, Addison Lee and Roger Eagleton demonstrated to the crowd that you don’t need a tiny Miata to enjoy wheel to wheel, door to door, bumper to bumper, close and clean racing because you can find all that and more with these big, V8 powered Ford Spec Mustangs!” ~Spec Mustang


REGIONAL 5 & 6 @ THUNDERHILL
APRIL 21-22, 2018



“It was a busy but good weekend for Spec Mustang drivers at Races 5 & 6 – SCCA San Francisco Championship at Thunderhill Raceway! Relative newcomer to the series, Igor Gandzjuk, showed some true grit and determination late last year and early this year as he struggled with electrical gremlins that prevented him from showing his true speed out on the track. However, as his solid second place finish on Sunday has shown, those electrical gremlins are a thing of the past and he can now focus on racking up those podiums and trophies in his bad ass orange and black Spec Mustang!! Series veteran Clark Nunes also put on an impressive display by qualifying on pole for Sunday’s race and went on to lead every lap on the way to a well deserved victory!

The Spec Mustang’s will be back in action this coming weekend at the Hoosier Racing Tire SCCA Super Tour event at Buttonwillow Raceway Park which is being hosted by the Southern California SCCA Chapter, better known as Cal Club! Spec Mustang drivers Addison Lee, David Ray, Russ Peterson, Don Van Nortwick, Beau Borders, Clark Nunes, Roger Eagleton and many others will be competing in the Touring 2 Class.

If the excitement of the Touring 2 Class race two weeks ago at Thunderhill Raceway was any indication of what’s to come, then you can be sure that there will be some close and great wheel to wheel, door to door action going on throughout the weekend!” ~Spec Mustang
