Amy
Ruman Grabs the Pole and Wins the Nelsons Ledges GT-1 SCCA
National
Munroe Falls, OH - What a weekend it was for the Ruman
Racing team this past weekend at the nearby Nelson's Ledges
Race Course. Amy Ruman grabbed the pole in the morning qualifier
with a time of 1:04.868 with Frank Cioppettini in second with
a 1:06.281. The weather turned with an afternoon rain shower
about 20 minutes before the second qualifier was to begin,
soaking the track. Ruman did not attempt the session, as times
would not improve.
The weekend had a GT-1 field of 7 cars, with Ruman, Cioppettini,
and Sloe rounding out the top three finishers in the race.
Ruman set the fastest race lap at 1:04.765 leading all 23
laps of the race.
"Finally a win! I have been waiting for this all season,
and our team was due. It was a great weather day and good
racing conditions. I got Frank on the start, and just checkout
after that. Midway through the race, someone blew a motor,
oiling the track down the back straight, and that really slowed
our times down," stated Ruman.
"I am hoping to take this momentum with me down to another
home track, Mid-Ohio, this weekend. The crew has dialed in
a great set-up on the McNichols/Cenweld Corvette in the last
few races so I am confident we will be quick."
