Munroe Falls, OH – Amy Ruman and the team are headed west to Road America in Elkhart Lake, WI for Round 6 of the 2011 SCCA Pro Racing Trans-Am Series championship. This weekend’s Trans-Am race is part of the Time Warner Cable Road Race Showcase featuring the American Le Mans Series.
Coming off her 5th place Trans-Am class finish at the Trois-Rivieres Grand Prix 2 weeks ago, Ruman is eager to get back in the car and try for a top spot on the podium.
“It was so unfortunate that we broke at the Trois-Rivieres race, we really did have a fast racecar there,” stated Ruman. “Road America is such a great, high-speed racetrack and I always enjoy running it. At the Trans-Am race here last year, I scored a podium 3rd place finish, this year I hope to top that!”
Ruman will be driving the #23 McNichols Co./Goodyear/Cenweld Chevrolet Corvette in the full, 18-car TA/TA2 field. Thursday will feature two practice sessions at 8:00 a.m. and 2:55 p.m. and Friday qualifying will be held from 8:00 to 8:30 a.m. CDT. The green flag will fly early for the Trans-Am race on Saturday at 8:00 a.m. CDT.
