Terry Borcheller - Trois-Rivieres race

strong finish

Terry Borcheller enjoyed a fourth-place GT finish in the American Le Mans 
Series race in Trois-Rivières, Qué.  Borcheller, of Phoenix, and his co-driver 
Shane Lewis of Jupiter, Fla., combined to improve eight positions in the 
demanding three-hour race.

Borcheller qualified the No. 63 ACEMCO Motorsports Ferrari 360 Modena GT 12th 
on the GT grid, with a lap time of one minute 6.937 seconds on the 1.52-mile 
street circuit.  Lewis started the race, but was hampered by the first caution 
period, when he lost a lap due to the car's track position when the caution 
started.  Borcheller drove the final one-hour 45-minute stint.  The pair moved 
steadily through the field to finish fourth, in a race hammered by attrition.

"It was amazing to take fourth place," Borcheller said.  "It was a real 
turnaround for the team.  We lost a lap early, so we were playing catchup the rest 
of the time.  Jim Bell did an excellent job engineering the car and the 
Yokohama tires were great - I ran the whole stint on the same set of tires.  The 
team really came together and did a great job on the strategy and pit stops.  To 
finish fourth is really big for the whole team."
