Terry Borcheller - Sebring preview

Terry Borcheller will be ready to race after eight packed days of preparation 
for the Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring, the first race in the 2004 American 
Le Mans Series. Borcheller and ACEMCO Motorsports tested on the 3.7-mile 
Sebring (Fla.) International Raceway road course on Friday and Saturday, March 12 
and 13, took a day to analyze data and work on car set-up, then returned for 
another five days on track before the 12-hour race on Saturday, March 20.

Borcheller, of Gainesville, Ga., will drive the No. 63 ACEMCO Motorsports 
Saleen S7R with David Brabham of Maidenhead, England, and Johnny Mowlem of 
London, England. The trio will focus on a consistent pace, a key element in 
endurance racing.

"Our goal is to come away with as many points as possible - I think that's a 
realistic goal - then continue our testing and development until the next 
race," Borcheller said. "I think the car will be very reliable. You don't ever 
know that, but Saleen has given the new car more endurance; it's more reliable. 
If things go wrong, it's also easier to fix. They've done a good job in that 
respect. Hopefully after Sebring, we'll be able to work on speed. I don't know 
that we can keep pace with the Corvettes yet, but I think that we can at least 
run consistently."

Borcheller will continue his tradition of meeting with two youth groups 
during the Sebring race week. He will speak to a special assembly of the students 
at Sebring High School on March 17, then address a race rally at Sebring First 
Baptist Church that evening. He has taken time to meet with both groups for 
the past four years, as part of his support of Motorsports Ministries.
