Munroe Falls, OH – Amy Ruman and the team will start a fresh weekend of racing as the SCCA Pro Racing Trans-Am Series heads to Canada for Round 4 at Mosport International Raceway as part of the Victoria Day SpeedFest Weekend. The schedule will feature not only the SCCA Pro Racing Trans-Am Series, but also the Pirelli World Challenge, SCCA Pro Spec Racer, Castrol Canadian Touring Car Championship, and the Sundown Grand Prix Endurance race into darkness classic.
Ruman will test the car during the promoter’s test day on Thursday. The official event begins Friday with a practice session at 1:00 pm, followed by practice session two on Saturday at 10:15 am. Trans-Am qualifying will take place Sunday at 8:45am and the 100 mile/41-lap race will start Sunday at 3:30 pm.
“This will be my first time running a Trans-Am car at Mosport Raceway. I was here in 2002 when I competed in Pro Spec Racer, but it will be a very different feel in the Trans-Am car. This track is really fast and I can’t wait to lay down some horsepower!” exclaimed Ruman. “VIR was a tough weekend on the #23 McNichols/Goodyear/Cenweld Corvetteand the team, but we are determined to improve our results this weekend.”
