Gold Car Starting Eleventh At Watkins Glen
Drivers and Crew Confident of Race Pace
2007.06.08: AIM Autosport just missed a top-10 start position for the Grand-Am Rolex Sports Car Series race at Watkins Glen (N.Y.) International on Saturday, but the team has a strong car for the six-hour race. Burt Frisselle of Lynchburg, Va., qualified the No. 61 Lexus-powered Riley Mk XI in one minute 45.490 seconds on the 3.4-mile road course, after encountering traffic on his fast lap. He will drive the first race stint on Saturday, then alternate with his brother Brian Frisselle and with Mark Wilkins of Toronto.
"We didn't get the top-10 we were shooting for – we got nicked by one spot; I had a little traffic on the last lap. But I can't wait for tomorrow because we always practice on heavy fuel loads and our race pace is always better than our practice pace, so tomorrow can't come soon enough. I think we're in store for a good day," Burt Frisselle said. "I love this track; I've had some really good luck here. I think we'll be moving up the charts pretty early."
