< Back to News Home Team Sahlen crew ready for back to back race weekend at New Jersey Motorsports Park

Posted (04/29/2009) -

Back to back race weekends are always difficult for a team.  And Team Sahlen has had their share of them through the years.  Including racing at Laguna Seca in California and then going across the continent to Lime Rock in Connecticut.  This week's adventure will not be quite so crazy as that adventure, but nonetheless will be challenging for all involved within Team Sahlen.  

 

The Virginia Rolex event ended on Saturday evening, April 25th.  The crew quickly loaded the Corvettes on the trailer. The Trailer arrived home at the shop on Sunday night.  Then the crew quickly unloaded both cars on Monday morning to start the process of preparing for New Jersey.  The #42 Corvette required extra attention due to an unfortunate meeting with a tire wall at Virginia.  Then the cars were loaded by Tuesday night, so the rig could leave for New Jersey.  To gain extra preparation time on #42, the Corvette was actually loaded on the trailer that went behind the Team Sahlen Motorhome, gaining an extra day of prep.

 

"Back to back weekends are always tough.  Logistics and Organization are a must in these situations.  Everyone on the team put in extra effort this week to ensure we would be ready to go to New Jersey." - states crew chief Mike Thomas

 

Drivers for the New Jersey weekend will be Joe Sahlen and Will Nonnamaker in the #42 Corvette.  Additionally, Joe & Wayne Nonnamaker will<
