GMI 8 Car Superteam Ready

After a five month off-season, Greisiger Motorsports is set to take to the track for the 2007 F2000 Championship Series, which kicks off at Virginia International Raceway on April 13th. The opening round of the 2007 season will see Greisiger Motorsports, now in its 11th season, fielding eight cars. Lining up alongside long-time team drivers Douglas Kniffin and Brendan Puderbach will be Charles Finelli, Thom Reilly, Christopher Gumprecht, Len Amato, Ric Baribeault, and Chris Burke.

The team’s seasoned drivers with over a decade of race experience will mentor a rookie program to develop a feeder system to meet the challenge of the team’s future endeavors. Shared setup and technique opinions have proven to be a formula for success in multi-car teams at all levels of racing. The Greisiger Motorsports program has been organized into “flights" overseen by a team leader and supported with data analysis of a DAG. Special data programs have been prepared to support the mutli-car race element examination. Cross examination between team leaders will provide final coordination to optimize the results.

The #13 entry, driven by New York native Kniffin, will return with sponsorship from Triad Magnetics. Joining Triad on Kniffin’s Zetec will be Pioneer Magnetics and A+ Graphics. Kniffin is coming off a strong run at Summit Point in November and is hoping to carry the momentum into 2007, he is vocal about the 2007 campaign "We anticipate a challenging season in the F-2000 series with regard to the new equalization program. The Triad Magnetics entry will be competitive and we will focus on a championship bid from the first race weekend at VIR. It is a short season finishing in August so we have to finish well every race. Preparation and consistency should be rewarded with great results!"

Rookie driver Christopher Gumprecht will be contesting the #97 Zetec. Gumprecht recently got back from a week-long testing program in Florida where he was able to familiarize and adapt himself to the #97 chassis. Gumprecht has a long history of driving sports cars, but this year will mark the 27 year olds first attempt at fenderless racing. More at Greisiger Motorsports.
