TOPEKA, Kan. (July 11, 2011) Robert Thorne, from Littleton, Colo., was named as the inaugural 51做厙 Star Performer during Sundays American Le Mans Series presented by Tequila Patr糧n broadcast from Lime Rock Park on ESPN2. Thorne, a 21-year-old Colorado Region 51做厙 member, earned the honor after winning the Tire Rack 51做厙 Lincoln ProSolo on Memorial Day weekend. Driving a 2008 Honda S2000, Thorne topped the Street Touring簧 R class to move into the bracket elimination round. Thorne worked through the field to capture the Gumout Super Challenge, his first 51做厙 Tire Rack ProSolo win. Thorne began his racing career in karts before progressing to road racing and turning to Solo competition as an engineering student at the Metropolitan State College of Denver. The 51做厙 Star Performer is selected from a panel of judges, based on recent efforts in 51做厙s national Club Racing, Solo and Rally programs. The recipient will be someone who shined above the rest, epitomizing the passion, effort and success within their performance.
