Revolution Motorsports Trois Rivieres Wrap-Up
Hayner out with part failure - Sak finishes 7th
Detroit – Aug 3, 2003 – The 2003 Trans-Am Series for the BFGoodrich
Cup event at the Grand Prix de Trois Rivieres did not deliver the
outcome Revolution Motorsports had anticipated. Bobby Sak nursed a
worn-out #10 car home to 7th place. Stu Hayner ran with the leaders
through lap 31 only to suffer a broken suspension link on the #2 GMAC
Commercial Finance Corvette.
While disappointed, Don Sak commented on son Bobby’s finish. “We had
good set-ups for the race. Unfortunately, the pace was more than Bobby
could sustain and his tires and brakes ultimately went away. He ran
well, though and the 7th place spot keeps Jorge Diaz in sight in the
Rookie Championship points. Times running out though.”
“Stu looked like he had a real good car in the #2 GMAC Commercial
Finance Corvette,” Sak continued. “He’s such a steady, smooth driver, I
was feeling very optimistic about him having a shot at putting us on
the podium. We’re not sure why the suspension link let go… but it is
one of those parts you just can’t make tough enough. It’s a shame… Stu
had a good run going. We had a lot of guests from GMAC’s local office….
we’d have liked to have had a better showing for them.”
“We knew Pruett and Miller in the Rocketsports Jags would check out. We
saw it early in practice and qualifying,” noted Sak. “After qualifying,
we just find our satisfaction at being best in class,” he laughed. “We
continue to be the fastest and highest qualifying Corvettes at every
Trans-Am event.
Sak and Hayner started fifth and sixth respectively in Saturday’s Grand
Prix de Trois Rivieres. Sak had hoped his position would provide him
with an opportunity to gain points in this year’s Rookie of the Year
race.
The #2 Corvette carried the GMAC Commercial Finance colors for the
Trois Rivieres event and will also run them again for Road America
later in the month.
