Watkins Glen went great for Team Tiger! 8 very good GT2 cars on the grid and we took the pole for both Saturday and Sunday’s races. After losing the lead in turn 1 in Saturday’s race we battled back to take the lead and finished 1st and reset the track record! On Sunday we took the lead but an early full course caution allowed the cars to close up. We kept the lead on the restart but with 3 laps to go and a little nudge in the Tiger’s tail the Corvette took the lead. We gave chase but time ran out as we finished one tenth of a second back but reset the track record again on that final lap (157.069).
Just finished prepping the Tiger for this weekends SCCA Majors race at Gingerman. We are going from a top speed of 158mph at WGI to less than 140mph at this weekends venue Gingerman. Another very strong field of 7 GT2 competitors. Schedule is very demanding as we qualify Saturday morning and have our 1st race early Saturday afternoon. Race 2 is early Sunday.
Gingerman is very close to South Haven MI so if you are in the area please stop by.
