Terry Borcheller - Sonoma race

Terry Borcheller had a frustrating return to Ferrari racing in the American 
Le Mans Series race at Infineon (Sears Point) Raceway in  Sonoma, Calif.  
Borcheller is an instructor at the Bondurant School of High Performance Driving in 
Phoenix.  He received his training as a Bondurant instructor at the 2.53-mile 
Somona road course, so it's usually one of his favorites.

Borcheller's co-driver, Shane Lewis of Jupiter, Fla,, qualified the No. 63 
ACEMCO Motorsports Ferrari 360 Modena GT 10th on the GT grid.  Borcheller 
started the race, but was unable to progress because of two unexpected pitstops.  
Halfway through his one-hour stint, he encountered a right-rear tire pucture, 
forcing the first pitstop.  He pitted again a lap later because of a vibration 
in the car.  Lewis drove the final stint of the two-hour 45-minute race.  The 
pair finished 13th in class.

"There's not much to say," the disappointed Borcheller noted.  "I got a 
puncture, I came in.  Something was rubbing on the car and I came in again.  That 
was it."

good news

Borcheller will travel to Portland this week, where he will speak to children 
attending the Victory Racing Camp.  The charitable program teaches values and 
skills through the excitement of motorsport.  In addition to his evening 
speaking duties, Borcheller will help coach the students on track.
