Hayner Finishes Fourth at Lime Rock





GMAC / Trenton Forging #5 GTO Lime Rock Race Report

Hayner finishes fourth at New England Grand Prix



Lakeville, Conn – July 2, 2005  After starting 6th for the SPEED  
World Challenge New England GT Grand Prix, Stu Hayner finished fourth  
in the #5 GMAC Commercial Finance / Trenton Forging GTO. The SPEED  
World Challenge Series is running as part of the ALMS New England  
Grand Prix at Lime Rock Park, in Connecticut.
His fourth place finish backs up the teams fifth place finish at last  
weeks Grand Prix of Cleveland. Hayner was extremely pleased with the  
car and the day’s results.

“That was fun,” Hayner exclaimed. “I don’t remember the last time I  
drove a car that felt and handled that well. I could pretty much go  
wherever I needed. For a while there I was running with Max (Papis),  
I really felt I could get around him. I’d catch him at the base of  
the Downhill Turn (#10) but we’re still a bit down on power… I just  
didn’t have enough to get after him on the front straight.”

“I can’t get over how well the development of our 2005 program has  
come along,” Hayner continued. “It’s a great feeling for everyone on  
the team when you can see the effort and hard work paying off week  
after week. We’ve got a “never-say-die” bunch at Autosport  
Development and I’m proud to be associated with them all.”
