LRP race is done and another win! I can't say it was without drama
though. The throttle started sticking at about the twenty minute mark. I
had about twenty seconds on second place at the time but now the only
way to drive the car was to switch the ignition on and off and on top of
that it was stuck in 6th gear. Second place car got to within about three seconds and he knew I was wounded but he was trying a bit too hard in turn 1 and spun. from that point with only about five minutes left I was able to cruse to the podium. Thanks to my crew, Dan and Mark for all their help and to Redcom and all the sponsors that make it possible, Thanks! |

Race day, and running as a support race to the NASCAR gang
makes for a long lead time up to the race. The kids from Hillside showed up and
got a chance to see the team in action as they prepared for the race. It was
great to see the excitement in their faces as most had never seen anything like
this before. As the start time loomed Weisberg suited up and strapped into the
GTO. The green flag flew right on time and the two hour 200 mile race was on.
Starting 14th, well back in the field John had his work cut out for
him. A steady pace moved the car into the top ten and just before halfway co-driver
Alessie took over. Alessie moved up one more position to get up to 7th.
The racing was tough and he fought hard to keep position but fading tires and
a late race stop for a splash of fuel dropped the car back to 10th. Over all the race went well and although we didn’t win we did have
twenty true winners in the form of the Hillside kids who got to experience a once
in a lifetime moment. We also raised over $6000 for the center. Weisberg said post race, “this was a great experience
for me and even better, we were able to do something good for the kids. I can’t
wait till next year!”  |

MILLVILLE, N.J. June 14 – Joel Feinberg took advantage of a mid-race restart to take the lead in
round six of the IMSA Lites presented by Frisby Performance Tire series and never looked back,
leading the remainder of the 45-minute race.
“I was able to get through the gears better than he did,” Feinberg said. “I had enough momentum to
stick it out and go deep and then checked out from him.”
The lap following Feinberg’s pass on Drewer Kyle Marcelli also passed him, moving into second
place. Marcelli wasn’t able to catch Feinberg, but set a new race lap record trying. Lucas Downs
rounded out the top three in Lites One.
The Lites Two outcome was in question until the last lap when John Weisberg was able to hold off
Garrett Kletjian to take his third win of the 2009 season.
“He made me work for it. About five laps to go I was praying it would end really soon,” Weisberg
said. “I was able to keep him behind me, but it was a lot of work. The REDCOM Laboratories, West WR1000
came through for me.”
The next stop on the IMSA Lites presented by Frisby Performance Tire schedule is the American
LeMans Northeast Grand Prix July 17-18.
The IMSA Lites presented by Frisby Performance Tire is a championship comprised of 14 rounds at
seven famous tracks in North America including Road America, Elkhart Lake, Wis. And Road Atlanta,
Braselton, Ga.
