Qahhaar Hector has been active in the automotive performance industry since the early 1990fs. Wanting to be different and
stand out from the crowd of lemmings, he purchased his then new Saturn SC2 in 1996 and slowly began his task of modifying
this extremely non-performance aftermarket friendly vehicle.
Over the years more and more modifications were made until the power plateaued at 152hp to the wheels. It was now tome to
take it to the next level. The car was entrusted to Ian and Eric at FSR Motorsport Creation and went through a year long build
for a fully built engine with a custom turbo build. The car was debuted at the 2007 SpoCom show where we were interviewed
by Speed TVfs Street Tuner Challenge.
Qahhaar spent most of the next year tuning, breaking in the engine and doing car shows. In early 2008 he commissioned
Autogear Racing to build a custom big brake kit consisting of front and rear 13h cross-drilled rotors with front and rear 4 piston
calipers. The bad experience of boiling brake fluid from his last road course event prompted him to make this investment. It
soon proved to be well worth the money.
In July of 2008 he brought the car out to itfs first ever road course event in turbo form at the Redline Time Attack Season Finale
at California Speedway. Rolling in with full interior, heavy body kit and no suspension tuning, he took 2nd place in street class
without event trying. In fact he left early and was told by e-mail that he had placed. This prompted Nitto Tires to sponsor him
a set of NT01 tires for the 2009 season. Thanks to a deal with the magazine he writes for (LA Auto Guide) and Redline Time
Attack, he as well as one of his team mates is allowed to race the season free of charge in exchange for advertisement in the
magazine.
For 2009 we have done more tuning and brought to power up to 306 at the wheels. Thanks to an unplanned off road excursion
at round 2 of the Redline Time Attack series at Willow Springs, we have decided take the car to the next level yet again. The
car is currently at FSR Motorsport Creations going through a whole host of upgrades to prepare it for the next redline Time
Attack event.
Qahhaar is very active in the automotive world and competes in scores of events every year.
As a writer and photographer of the bi-weekly publication, LA Auto Guide, he is able to offer excellent print media advertisement

and article coverage of any event he attends to the world. www.SpeedSyndicate.net currently gets about 5000 unique visitors

The fact that his 1996 Saturn SC2 is an unusually unique car to participate in races or shows makes it truly stand out. Being
the only Saturn racing in the Redline Time Attack series it grabs tons of attention.
