Default **3 car LG Motorsports team for World Challenge**

Hi guys,

We will have a 3 car team for the 2006 World Challenge series beginning at Sebring in 2 weeks.

We will have car # 26, which is the car that won Infineon and Portland in 2005, with Claudio Burtin as the driver. Claudio was a Trans Am driver for years before moving to the World Challenge series this season.

Also, Car # 87 (yellow) which is a brand new car just being finished. the driver in that car will be Doug Peterson. Doug was national champion in a formula Mazda and a Ferrari Challenge winner also.

And the # 28 car which is the car that I led the Laguna race with before I was black flagged for hitting the Green flag perfectly

GOTO www.lgmracing.com to see all of our in car video from 2005

Thanks alot guys.

Lou Gigliotti LGM

Good luck for the '06 season. Should be exciting with the Astons and Skylines entering.

Just curious, what's #27 reserved for?

thanks

We had # 27 reserved so we could have 3 consecutive numbers, 26,27,28 but my othere team mate wanted #87. It is his number in other racing series that he runs.

Thanks

Hey Lou,
I like the white car too. That looks sharp, is it speedway white?

Thanks guys,

The white is a (sorry) Ford white. They allow 20 cars per mile in World Challenge.
Except for Long Beach, where they are only allowing 25 cars to enter. Based on points in 2005, and number of cars entered by a team in 2005 with a limit of 3 cars per team if they qualify.
I ran 2 cars in 2005 at one race, so I am guaranteed 2 cars, then the 3rd was based on entry date, which I jumped on fast.


The first race is in Sebring, then 2 weeks later through the streets of St Petersburg, fl, then one week later throught the streets of Long Beach, California. 3 races in 4 weeks

Hope to see many of you at the races. Stop by our trailer.

Thanks
Lou G

Love the white one as well. Try a different paint job other than the flames for the other 2 cars so you have 3 very different, but very cool looking cars in the field

sorry I won't be running. I've the got the new car ready to go, but haven't been able to find a penny of support.

If anybody want's to buy a ready-to-run Carbon C6R, or help me run it, let me know. I'll likely do some NASA stuff this season. I may run the WC at Rd Atlanta if I can put the money together.


btw, with entry prices going up, tires prices and wear ($1400 for a set of tires that barely last a weekend), new 96 octane mandated fuel, just can't afford it.

Good luck Lou and company.

Lou,

Will you please call me at 920-293-4319 and ask for Geff? I have some serious issues with your company. Namely, I sent you just south of $8,000.00 on December 30, 2005 for various products, the check cleared my bank on January 5, 2006, I called your company on February 3rd to find out where my merchandise was, and faxed you proof of payment which your people verified was received by you, sent you a certified letter on February 24th which hasn't been responded to yet, AND NEVER RECEIVED ANY MERCHANDISE OR ANY EXPLANATION WHY YOU TOOK MY MONEY BUT WILL NOT GIVE ME ANY MERCHANDISE OR RETURN MY $8,000.00!!!!! At this point just give me back my $$$$$ so I can move on with my life!!

Hi,

I just called you and gave you my cell number also via PM. I investigated this order and it seems that you sent in a Cashiers check for a full Stop tech brake kit. The Cashiers check did not indicate clearly who it was from, and it didn't get applied to your order until Feb 3rd when you contacted us. We were then able to apply your check to your order.

That was when we ordered the StopTech kit, and I just got off the phone with Stoptech (yes at 7:00 west coast time) and your kit was scheduled to go out on the 28th but they have not completed your kit yet.

Stoptech has been swamped with orders for the Corvette and they overwhelmed their production capacity.

If the blame lies anywhere, it is with LG Motorsports for not being able to put your check with your order properly. Once that happened, we placed your order with SToptech and we are expecting it next week. Had we put 2 and 2 together, we would have been able to match your check with your order in a more efficient manner.

Please call me personally and I will try to make it right with you directly.

This does not normally happen, and we appologize for the Mix up.


Sorry for the mixup.

I am not hard to get ahold of on the forum, or via email Lou@LGMotorsports.com and I look forward to speaking with you.

Thanks

Lou Gigliotti LGM

Geffrey and I have figured out why this happened, and he has been gracious enough to let us complete his order, in spite of one of my salesman's failure to do his job.

My sales team is usually very good, but we have been blessed with larger than normal product sales and we have not been able to grow the staff to match the business.

We will try harder. the harder we work, the luckier we get.

Thanks guys, and thanks to all of you who have made our business a success.

Lou Gigliotti

SEE YOU AT THE RACES!!
