Another great weekend for the Gateway drivers and crew at Mosport International Raceway! Mike McGahern, piloting Gateway’s “Frankie” won the overall sprint race on Saturday, turning a 1:26.00 sec lap in only his second weekend in the car. A great achievement, both for driver and this “old” early 80’s Trans-Am car. A left front spindle failure prevented Mike from a podium finish on Sunday, but more to come from this talented driver on the last race weekend in October.

Terry Fletcher also achieved some incredible laps times, turning a best of 1:28.00 in a production C-5 Corvette, still using the original shocks and leaf spring suspension. Terry plans to finish the season in this car, awaiting the arrival of his new C-6 Corvette.

A new track record for a CASC car was established on Sunday, when Blaise Csida turned a 1:17.6 in the Gateway C-6 Trans-Am Corvette on lap 5 of the second sprint race. The crew was ecstatic as this also represented a faster race lap than the Trans-Am record, set by Kenny Wilden in 2010 at a 1:17.9. Work continues to make Blaise and his car even more competitive in 2012.
