SAMAX - Watkins Glen preview
The SAMAX/ Doncaster Racing Porsche 911 GT3 Cup car will carry a new number in this week's Rolex Sports Car Series race, but the same talented team will be behind the wheel. The Toronto trio of Dave Lacey, Greg Wilkins and Mark Wilkins will switch from No. 71 to No. 17 for the six-hour race at Watkins Glen (N.Y.) International on June 3.
courage and inspiration
Dave Lacey isn't concerned about the car number; his focus is on race numbers. He enjoyed his first Watkins Glen podium finish in 1999 and his most recent in 2005, driving with Greg Wilkins in Grand-Am Cup competition. With a single exception, they have finished in the top five in every race they have contested at Watkins Glen, including a fifth-place finish in last year's six-hour Rolex Series race.
Lacey links their success to the similarity of the 3.4-mile road course to their home track, Mosport International Raceway in Bowmanville, Ont.
