Autosport Development Lime Rock Qualifying Report

GMAC/Trenton Forging #5 GTO Lime Rock Qualifying Report
Hayner’s time continues to improve

Lakeville, Conn – May 29, 2004 In an extremely fast field of 30+ GT 
cars, breaking the track GT qualifying record was only enough for Stu 
Hayner to put the #5 GMAC Commercial Finance/Trenton Forging GTO 23rd 
on the starting grid for Monday’s SPEED World Challenge GT race at Lime 
Rock Park.

“We’re making progress,” expressed Hayner regarding Autosport 
Development’s new GTO program. “We have made great strides since we 
introduced the car in Sebring two months ago. As the car has gotten 
faster, we’re discovering some issues with the handling. The back of 
the car is planted pretty well, but it’s developed quite a bit of under 
steer. Also, I have to ‘saw’ on the steering wheel pretty good. So, 
we’ll have to address that.”

“The good news is we’re getting better each time out,” Hayner 
continued. “The car is getting to were I can be pretty aggressive with 
it. We’ll need to find some straightaway speed before Mid-Ohio, but the 
car is really coming along. It’s definitely moving forward. We’re 
pleased.”

Car Chief, Rob Wanamaker,  was very pleased with the weekend’s 
progress. “We knew this wouldn’t happen over night,” he said. “One of 
the difficulties of campaigning a new car like the GTO is the lack of 
off-the-shelf racing components available to you. We’ve been working 
with Drummond Motor Sport developing the suspension set-up and the car 
has improved. We’ve also made great strides in reliability. I think Stu 
knows he can push the car with confidence.”

Mohegan Sun Grand Prix, is set to make its standing start at  12:10
