MIAMI OFFERS NO RELIEF

This Friday, the #23 Cenweld/McNichols Corvette will take to the Road Atlanta track with high hopes for a return to top-ten finishes. The round eleven of twelve 2002 Trans-Am race will be 40 laps (100 miles) and is part of the Petit Le Mans nearly week-long event. Ruman is in 13th in the Trans-Am Championship points standings.
“We’re working hard but just not getting any relief yet from the dry spell,” explained Ruman. “We?ve done well previously at Road Atlanta and are presenting a positive front. Miami was hard for the crew and our fans. But I cannot say enough how much I appreciate our fans’ and sponsors’ support during this tough season. We’re going to continue to work as hard as we can for good races at Road Atlanta and VIR.”
