Default St Pete GP incar video ALMS GT2 inside

Hi guys,

Here is the incar video from last weekend at St Pete GP where we finished 4th.

Wrong tire choice cost us a podium. We sorely needed a podium.

VIDEO: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pr7DpWNH4XI


Eric Curran came on with us at St pete again after Sebring and he did a great job.

We are hoping that we can put the sponsorship together to keep running together.

Thanks

See you at the races

Lou Gigliotti

Thanks for the video, gotta love that sound and the great racing. Really nice to see a Corvette up in the hunt for the podium. Watching that driver change was really odd when you realize Eric is changing the Tilt for the steering wheel, seems like racing ain't what it used to be , gotta love that Vette. Watching for more and thanks again!

Thanks for the ride along. My favorite part is that two-for-one at turn one, but IMHO that Lou guy is no slouch, either.

Here's hoping you work something out for more '09 events.

Hey Lou,

are you going to let Feinberg trash you like that on his article in Speed.tv ?

I think you need to open up a can of a##whooping on that boy! He needs to show some respect. A newbie taking a shot at you when he was in diapers while you where winning championships.

Yeah, But at least he spelled my name right.

I have my in car video that shows his loss of clarity. He crashed at the beginning of lap 3, so it would be hard to hold him up for "3 full laps" like he said.

The fact is that in the first lap in the turn 4 brake zone, I did take the defensive line because of cold tires and I didn't want to let the slower car by just for cold tires.

Then after that, I drove the correct line, ignoring him totally.

Next thing I saw was in turn 1 on lap 3, he tried to make an outside pass, driving over the curbs, and he crashed himself out.

By the way, my first race lap there was only my 10 all weekend that I got so we knew it would take a few laps to get familiar with the car.

No biggie. It is very hard for most drivers to take responsibility for anything, let alone a crash.

Again, I will thank him for getting the Spelling of my name correct.
