Paul Fix returns to Trans Am in the #4 Corvette for Lime Rock and Watkins Glen

Lakeville, CT (May 2013) - Veteran Trans Am Series driver Paul Fix has signed to drive the #4 Stop Flex /Beebe Racing/PME/ Lamers Racing Corvette for Tony Ave Racing in the Lime Rock Park and Watkins Glen rounds of the 2013 Trans Am season.  Fix will replace two time Trans Am Series Champion Tony Ave for the two rounds, as Ave concentrates on responsibilities at Tony Ave Racing.  Fix comes to Lime Rock Park following a successful weekend of racing with the SVRA Group 11 cars at Road America last weekend.

“I look forward to getting back in to the Trans Am Series and competing,” said Fix. “We have watched the series revitalize itself over the last couple of years and feel now is the time to get back into the excitement.”

Cameron Lawrence Maintains Early-Season Form, Grows Points Lead

Altamonte Springs, FL/May 23, 2013- Cameron Lawrence went north of the border this past weekend to take on the famed Canadian Tire Motorsports Park in Bowmanville, Ontario for the first time in his career. Lawrence and his #11 Miller Racing Chevrolet Camaro went into the weekend with the TA2 Points lead in the 2013 Trans Am Series after a stellar start to the season at Sebring that saw him come away with the win after starting from Pole Position. 

Lawrence knew the task would be much harder this past weekend as he also had to contend with an unfamiliar track as well as a very hungry and hard charging TA2 pack to contend with. It would prove all the training on iRacing to learn the circuit would pay off as Cameron finished the first official practice of the weekend in third position as he readied himself for the qualifying that would take place come Saturday afternoon. The #11 Ctek Camaro would be brought home in qualifying with a best time of 1:23.187, good for second place on the grid for Sunday’s race.

Ruman Racing Resilient with Rapid Return to Lime Rock Park

Munroe Falls, Ohio (23 May 2013) – When the Ruman Racing team left Canadian Tire Motorsports Park just four days ago with a badly damaged No. 23 McNichols Co. Corvette following a late-race crash on Sunday, it was unclear whether the team would be back in race action this weekend as Trans Am stages Round 3 of the championship at Lime Rock Park. After getting back to the shop, the ever-resilient group worked long hours during the week, and those efforts will see Amy Ruman take part in the Lime Rock event utilizing the team’s back up car.

Last weekend, Ruman looked set to once again threaten for another Trans Am podium finish after placing third in the Sebring season-opener. Unfortunately, contact from another car that sent Ruman spinning off course then resulted in a tire failure on the No. 23 Corvette on the very fast back straightaway. The car careened to the left into a concrete wall and though Ruman was unharmed, the McNichols machine sustained significant damage.
