Rolex 24 Hour Race

[Viperrick]

I just checked out the Rolex 24 Hour race web site and after 19 hours of racing a Viper GTS-R is in second place in GTS class. The leader in class is the Rocketsport Jaguar (a Trans-Am car) owned by Paul Gentallozi. It looks like the Carsport Viper from Holland, which won the FIA GT series in Europe last year, is the challenging Viper. Anyone watching the race? Please confirm this information.

No factory Corvette or Saleen effort? What happened to the other 2 Vipers? One was the AVR car owner by Tom Weikart and the other the Brookspeed Viper (British Team). I believe that John Fernandez of PVO is down at the race. Hopefully Dodge has been able to give the Viper Teams running this year, some technical assistance

Three Vipers competed in GTS. The Labre team placed second in GTS and eight overall. The Saleens were there in force. Four began the race. Check the Grand American site at: www.grand-am.com for final results and finishing positions. AVR ran well at the beginning of the race just behind #77 from Holland but went out with problems.
