After two hard weeks of preparation for the St. Petersburg race we are very please with our results. The crew worked very hard to make this weekend what it was. There is an awful lot of preparation and testing that takes place before each event. In fact we used a privet track in Florida to test and set up the cars for this event.

Chip Herr quickly fought his way to 3rd after starting 7th only to loose ground to 4th. Chip spent the rest of the race trying to catch the top 3 cars to no avail. Our Rookie driver Jeff Courtney qualified 13th and showed skill and judgment far beyond his rookie status to finished a very impressive 7th. Additionally, Jeff was awarded top finishing Rookie and leads in the points for Rookie of The Year. Freddy Baker jumped an incredible 6 spots to finish 9th after starting 15th. All of our drivers are getting very comfortable in the Audi's and we expect the team only to get stronger as the season progresses. Look forward to Audi's on the podium soon in the SPEED World Challenge Touring Car series.

Thank you again for coming out and supporting the team. If you have not been to an event, please come out and stop by and say hello. We really enjoy talking cars and racing with other enthusiasts.

It was great meeting and spending time with Pat, Justin and John ,looking forward to the next event.

Chip talking last minute tactics.

keep up the good work guys and gals.....

Potomac-Greg

After spinning to a stop into the inside wall, it seemed to go full throttle, backward into the outside wall! It could've been much worse.

And the Audis were great. Chip did his best, but clearly didn't have the speed of the top three. I'm sure further tuning and rewards weight will even things up.

Steve_Ag Arrow

great job guys!

Pat-SoCal

even though he was spinning and bouncing off the inside wall he was still carrying a lot of speed. I think the angle on the camera just makes it look like the car was going very slow.

Congratulations to all of you! Will you be running all 3 B7s at Mid-Ohio next month?

We have one chassis being built and the other on the way. It will be close but we should hopefully have all 3 there.
