ZZP Team Highlight: Ryan Derrick “Snowbalt” Style Chicago Domination
Roll into any race, show, street-meet, or car culture event in greater Chicago-land, and you will hear stories about a mean white ghost that dominates the freeways and the streets and that lurks in the dark of Lower Wacker drive. This “Snowbalt” isn’t scared to put a sad-face on all the imports, V8 muscle cars and even exotic supercars on the west side of Lake Michigan. Ryan has built what is arguably the cleanest and most powerful daily driven LNF Cobalt in the Midwest. To show our appreciation for Ryan we even made a T-shirt from one of his many photo shoots.
ZZPerformance would like to acknowledge team member Ryan Derrick, for his exceptional car buildup, and his amazing personality. Ryan is well loved by the Chi-town car culture community, and is respected by all who interact with him. Ryan has been a great representative of the ZZP team, and an ambassador to the lifestyle, culture, and community ZZP has built for our employees, team, and wonderful customers. Thank you Ryan, we are looking forward to many more amazing events with you on our team!
