Star Mazda: Ostella 7th, Furfari 12th. David fights gearbox gremlins while Michael fights traffic.

(2010.03.28) In the Star Mazda Championship presented by Goodyear race, David Ostella and Michael Furfari would end the day 7th and 12th respectively. Keith Willis reported that David had a great start and was on the attack moving up to fifth place in the opening laps. He was holding position and within sight of taking fourth when he experienced some gearbox problems. The team talked with him over the radio to sort out the issue but by the time they had it resolved, David had fallen off and was back to the seventh spot.

"It was another good start from David", Willis said. He has definitely improved on attack from the opening lap and we are confident that there will be some podium results if we keep this momentum going."

Michael meanwhile was held up in traffic on the tighter sections of the course and in a bid to keep the car in one piece and get to the end of the race, opted for the steady approach.

"Michael drove a smart race today", Willis noted. "As we work toward finding the setup that works for him, Michael just goes out there and puts in a solid effort and brings the car home. and that is important in building confidence."

The Star Mazda team has a bit of a break now before the next race at Laguna Seca in May (22nd) but will have an official test session May 2nd at O'Reilly Raceway Park along with Anthony in the F2000. The next race for the USF2000 is at O'Reilly Raceway Park on May 29th with Star Mazda
