Because unfortunately, last week, Doug Peterson dropped out. The effort will go forward with one car. And we are planning on a full season.

It was a big disappointment to have Doug make the decision to race elsewhere.

I am meeting with Riley to see if we can fill the second car for the remainder of the season. But at this point it is going to be a much more focused program with one car.

Riley and I agree that being the first season for us, this is probably a blessing in disguise and it will allow us to really put out a much better car and effort on one car rather than two.

We have our tire company on board and all the pieces are falling into place. I just wish we had a few more months to finish.

Thats why.

Bummer... I was really looking forward to seeing Doug in the ALMS. Him and my dad go way back.

Well it seems that Lou has sold the second WSC car, his #28, to Brian Kubinski.
Maybe we will here something on the project from Lou some time in the near future! (?) link

Is it just me? or does anyone else think it would be awesome to see Devon Powell back in a car and in ALMS instead of Grand Am cup. I could just be a canadian boy talkin here.. but he was fast.. very fast.

Well if Ron is to be replaced by Andy in the #3 car then I think Ron in one of Lou's cars would be stellar for development of the cars. I know wishful thinking on my part!

It is my understanding that Andy Pilgrim will be driving the former P&M Cadillacs now owned by McCann racing.

But that shouldn't preclude Andy from piloting the #3 Corvette, if Ron in fact is stepping out this year and Andy is his replacement, as there is no conflict with the ALMS and SWC schedules at all much less the 3 majors.

Well were 5 weeks away from Sebring so we hopefully will hear something soon from Lou as they were/are planning several test sessions before Sebring.
