Jezarian Delivers at Lime Rock with Second Place Finish

Friday proved to be a disappointing day for the team as they worked through the evening chasing an electrical glitch that prevented the engine from reaching the powerband. With the problem solved, the car was quickly assembled before morning warmup. Jezarian strapped in and completed one installation lap during the warmup to confirm the car was back to normal.

Meanwhile. a mixed forecast proved to be a big problem as the paddock was looking to the skies for setup advice as race time approached. The Greisiger Motorsports team, assisted my GTP Motorsports for the weekend, made the call to go to a full dry-weather setup for the 38 minute, 32 lap race.

The decision was the right one. As the green flag fell, Jezarian and the #40 wasted no time in moving through the pack. By lap ten Jezarian was solidly in the top five looking to advance, and through a mixture of racecraft and luck, was able to survive through a computer glitch on the race car to drive the #40 to a second place finish, the best result of the entire season for Greisiger Motorsports.

Gregory Jezarian – “We got fooled by mother nature. Monty was glued to the radar trying to track the rain which never arrived. It was a scramble to get the rain set-up off and readjust the springs for a dry race.”

“By lap 8 the Greisiger Motorsports Van Diemen started cutting out at high revs. I spent the day yesterday learning to drive a handicapped car so I was ready when it happened again”

“I’ have to thank Kurt Greisiger and Triad Magnetics for allowing me to drive their car. I’ll find a cure for the electrical issues and hope to take another shot at it for them again soon.”
