GRM NSX article

I was reading an article in the latest issue of Grassroots Motorsports about the 2017 Acura NSX. It states "The head of development is a New England Hillclimb Association record-holder," but didn't mention him by name.

As a follow up. Does anyone know who this is? Do we have a list of the record holders and their records anywhere? If the article is incorrect, I'd be happy to let the author know. I have his email address as coincidentally I purchased a car from him a few months ago!

That was for 2015, wondering if he's the same guy for 2017?

Ted Klaus is the head ov global development on the 2017 NSX project.

I found some evidence that he's been involved in PA hillclimbs (mostly reference to some sort of an off):

It looks like he has a record with them from 2002.

So ... maybe he has a hillclimb record, perhaps. As far as I could tell, he hasn't ever been to a hillclimb in New England though.

As the holder of all information.... well, kinda.

I found this (not related to NEHA events):
http://www.hillclimb.org/events/other/2007_1.htm

I did not look through the results.... Kevin Gale would have the best way to get this information.

I sent Don Kennedy a message via facebook as he's actively with the PA hillclimb group, he might know what the deal is.

I know the name Ted Claus from PHA. I don't know him personally and can't help at this point. I'll ask some questions.

Ted Klaus Jr. is the guy in the article. His father, Ted Klaus Sr. is the guy who had the "off" several years ago.

I don't know if either one has ever run a NEHA hill, but they've both certainly entered PHA events.
