  Autosport Development GMAC / Trenton Forging #5 GTO Qualifying Report
  Hayner, to start St. Petersburg GT race from 18th position

  St. Petersburg, Fla. – April 1 2005 Autosport Development driver, Stu 
Hayner [GMAC Commercial Finace / Trenton Forging #5 GTO], will start 
Sunday’s SPEED World Challenge GT race in 18th position. The Autosport 
Development team is in St. Petersburg for the Honda Grand Prix of St. 
Petersburg, April 1st-3rd where the SPEED World Challenge Series will 
appear with the Indy Racing League's debut road race. The track is a 
1.8 mile street course. The World Challenge races will air on EE 
Channel Sunday April 10th with the Touring Cars at 1pm and the GT cars 
at 2pm.

  “We’ll have to pick up the pace from 18th,” said Hayner. “We started 
the weekend with an under steer condition and may have over corrected. 
The car now has a tendency to over steer exiting the corner. It’s a 
trick to find that balance… especially with this being a brand new race 
car. A street course lined with cement walls makes you think twice 
about seeking out the cars limits.”

  “I have the utmost confidence in our guys,” said Hayner. “Everyone is 
on the same page and is taking a methodical approach to sorting the car 
out. We have a much broader range of set-up options than we’ve had in 
the past, so it’s just a matter of being patient and finding out how 
the car responds to different changes.”

  Team owner, David Moxlow, concurred. “We’re sorting this car out under 
race conditions and, as Stu mentioned, doing it on a street course 
requires that we stay conservative in our test set ups. We rely on 
Stu’s feedback and let him take the lead on how far to go with things. 
It’s his call. We’ll put a good car under him and let him make the 
decision on how hard to push. I’m expecting we’ll have a good race.”
