Bloomingdale, GA (February 14, 2007) - Team KMA Racing's Formula BMW team
with drivers Jeffrey Petriello, Julia Landauer and Mike Hill finished an
extensive two-day test at Roebling Road on Tuesday posting very favorable
results. "All our drivers progressed tremendously over the two days," stated
Team KMA co-principal Jon Lewis. "You could see the determination in their
eyes and the dedication to be the best at their craft. We were all very
impressed with how rapidly they learned the limits of the car and the
consistency each were able to project."
"The entire team has really bonded into a tight-knit group," added Team
KMA's other co-principal and Formula BMW Team Manager, Ingo Strackerjan.
"From our Chief Engineer (Lucas Strackerjan) through our lead mechanics
(Raffi Tashdjian, Justin Herring & Mark Elliott) to our drivers, the
communication, understanding and dedication has become really evident
throughout the team. We were also very impressed that by the end of the
first day, all our drivers were posting times equal to or better than lap
times we have heard from other teams on the newly repaved track."
The team had to scrub the second day of a two-day test at Carolina
Motorsports Park a couple weeks ago due to snow. "It was a welcome two days
of testing after our less than optimum conditions at Carolina, however the
second day at Carolina was not wasted as the team was able to use the time
to familiarize the drivers with learning how to analyze data, to work on
media and public relations training, as well as getting to know each other
on a more personal level," commented Lewis. "The weather at Roebling Road
was perfect and really enabled us to give our drivers the full benefit of
track time. We'll be heading back to Savannah in a few weeks for more
testing as well as at Road Atlanta to prepare for the upcoming Official test
days."
Team KMA Racing, sponsored in part by Cabo Wabo Cantina, is a combined
effort between American Spirit Racing of Cape Coral, Florida and Atlantic
Racing Team of Halifax, Nova Scotia.
