WATKINS GLEN, N.Y. (June 6, 2008) 聙聯 Tommy Archer, of Duluth, Minn., was fastest Friday afternoon at Watkins Glen International and wound up fastest on the day in preparation for Sunday聙聶s SCCA Pro Racing SPEED World Challenge GT Championship Round Four race, part of the Sahlen聙聶s Six Hours of the Glen weekend. Andy Pilgrim, of Boca Raton, Fla., and Eric Curran, of East Hampton, Mass., completed the top three.Driving the No. 13 Foametix/Woodhouse Performance Dodge Viper, Archer recovered from a blown engine in Thursday聙聶s test session to turn the day聙聶s fastest lap of 1:55.695 (105.587 mph). In Friday morning聙聶s session, Archer was at the other end of the time sheets in 22nd as the team continued to work out electrical issues with the new engine.聙聹In the first session we had an electrical glitch that was causing the engine to go into safe mode, so it just wouldn聙聶t go anywhere,聙聺 Archer said. 聙聹The Woodhouse crew worked hard all day, literally until an hour before the session, so they worked six hours to figure out what the problem was in this hot weather and give me a car that worked. My job is easy 聙聯 I just drive it, but they did a heck of a job all day.聙聹It feels good to have a car that聙聶s close to the front now. We can聙聶t race that fast though. We tried a setup that was for qualifying and there聙聶s no way I can go that fast through the whole race, because after three laps I was sliding the tires. 聙聹To be able to take a car through the Esses flat is very difficult, so that聙聶s what I work on when I come here. It聙聶s a fight with your foot every time you get to Turn Two, because your brain says lift, but you tell yourself 聙聵no, I can聙聶t lift!聙聶 But if you can get through there, it聙聶s bad fast. I bet I come off the bridge five to 10 miles an hour quicker than most guys just because I can get up through there quick, so that聙聶s what I always work on.聙聺Pilgrim, who was fastest in the morning session, dropped another half second off his best time with a lap of 1:55.923 (105.587 mph) in the No. 8 Remington Shaving/Cadillac Cadillac CTS-V.Curran聙聶s 1:56.848 (104.751 mph) came in the morning session. In the afternoon session, he was sixth fastest in the No. 30 Whelen Motorsports Chevrolet Corvette and had a brush with the guard rail in Turn Six. He continued on in the session.Point leader Brandon Davis was fourth fastest in the No. 10 ACS/Sun Microsystems Ford Mustang with a time of 1:57.138 (104.692 mph) in the morning.
