THE LEATHER CENTER GRAND
PRIX OF TEXAS
Saturday March 3, 2001 - PIT NOTES: Page 5
Ron Fellows (#3-GTS Chevrolet Corvette C5-R) "Andy (Pilgrim) cut a
pretty good lap for us to go for. We made some quick changes to the car
in the pits with only four minutes to go. The car was very slippery, it
never felt like we got it right. Because of the temperatures it took
forever to get some heat in the tires. (for me) The infield chicane was
the tough part of the track. "
Lucas Luhr (#23-GT Porsche 911 GT3-RS) (about qualifying on pole twice
in a row at this track) "It's just another circuit, not a favorite
of mine. Both times I have had a mighty good car. The first couple
of laps I couldn't get the tires up to temperature. The circuit was
difficult. We waited at the beginning as we knew the track was a little
wet. The most difficult part was coming off turn 7 going up into the
banking. I had to be careful with the throttle, otherwise I'd have a
major oversteer moving into the banking."
Correction: This is Frank Biela's (# 2-P Audi R8) third pole (Sebring
2000, Mosport 2000). |
