Wright Motorsports Team Invades Road Atlanta

Atlanta, GA, April 2, 2007 - Wright Motorsports has returned from a soggy and pollen filled Road Atlanta PCA trip. Those of us with allergies are still trying to shake the affects of 5499 particles per square inch! Making their way down to the event were: Rick and Reed Koehler F 911's, Andy Hauck 996 GT3 (GTC3) and new customer Phillip Martien 2002 GT3 RS (GTA). Rick and Reed had a mixed weekend ... early internal gearbox problems sidelined Rick for the sprint race / Reed qualified his 911 14th and fought the good fight to bring home 8th overall in his sprint race. On Sunday the father / son duo (2 of the infamous 4 Pistons) ... teamed up for the 90 minute and got out of dodge before the result sheets were even dry...beating out the weather. They both seemed to have a great time, drove a good race and believe they brought home a top 5 finish.

Wright Motorsports & TruSpeed Motorsports Finishes Eighth in Rolex 24 at Daytona
Written by: Steve Keller

Daytona, FL, January 29, 2007 - Although there were some unscripted hurdles from the beginning, the TruSpeed Motorsports team of Charles Morgan, Rob Morgan, Timo Bernhard, and B.J. Zacharias finished eighth overall in the Rolex 24 at Daytona for the Grand American Road Racing Association Rolex Series. Early problems with oil venting from the transmission and a balky powerplant which turned out to be an electrical issue, took the No. 47 Querencia Golf Club, Los Cabos/TruSpeed Motor Cars/Wright Tuning/VelocityVille.com Porsche out of contention to win, but by keeping with the pre-race playbook the team was able to claw back into position to score a top ten finish late in the race.

"When we were brought in for the overflow issue, I remember sitting on the pit box with my head in my hands," said Rob Morgan. "Right off the bat we were down seven laps. I just couldn't believe it. Then the positive side kicked in. At least it happened early and it gave us a lot of time to fight back. Then in the middle of the night we had a radiator issue. It cost us a lot, and I guess it is a cliché but it was just a racing deal. Those things happen. You just change it as quick as you can. We changed it quicker than one of the other top teams that had a radiator issue. That says a lot about our guys and their ability to work fast. Picking up those two spots at the end of the race due to attrition; that was probably the highest point
for us." READ MORE HERE
