LONG BEACH, Calif. (April 19, 2008) 聙聯 Andy Pilgrim, of Boca Raton, Fla., improved on his Friday practice time to lead Saturday聙聶s second round of practice for Sunday聙聶s SCCA Pro Racing Long Beach SPEED GT Presented by Applied Computer Solutions race. Local ace Mike Davis, of Huntington Beach, Calif., was second on the combined practice results, followed by last year聙聶s race winner Eric Curran, of East Hampton, Mass.After topping Friday evening聙聶s practice session, Pilgrim improved his time to a 1:26.150 (82.238 mph) in this morning聙聶s 30-minute session, which ran free of yellow flags. While Pilgrim was happy to lead both practice sessions in his No. 8 Remington Shaving Cadillac CTS-V, he felt the team had some work to do to ensure a successful qualifying effort at the 1.968-mile temporary street course.聙聹The car felt a little bit better [than yesterday],聙聺 Pilgrim said. 聙聹It had the same traits, the same oversteer exit, but I think everybody has that to a degree. I聙聶m surprised nobody聙聶s going any quicker. 聙聹We聙聶re struggling though. I was behind a couple of the quicker guys and I was faster, but I couldn聙聶t get by them. I聙聶ve got nothing on the straightaways, so I can聙聶t even get in a position to draft up behind them. 聙聹Qualifying is really important here, because the cars are so closely matched, speed wise, that you just can聙聶t pass anybody. They either have to make a mistake or let you by. That聙聶s how it is on a street course. You can聙聶t force it or you聙聶ll end up in the wall.聙聺Driving the No. 11 ACS/Sun Microsystems Ford Mustang Cobra, Mike Davis put a smile on the faces of the hometown crowd by posting the second fastest time in practice, a 1:26.321 (82.075 mph). Defending Long Beach race winner Eric Curran slotted his No. 30 Whelen Motorsports Chevrolet Corvette into the third spot on the time sheets, stopping the clocks with a 1:26.394 (82.005 mph).Brandon Davis, of Huntington Beach, Calif., was fourth with a lap of 1:26.511 (81.894 mph) in the No. 11 ACS/Sun Microsystems Ford Mustang Cobra. Reigning SCCA SPEED GT Champion Randy Pobst completed the top five, turning a 1:26.645 (81.768 mph) in the No. 1 K-PAX Racing Porsche 911 GT3.Pobst聙聶s teammate Michael Galati (Porsche 911 GT3) was sixth, followed by Californians Dino Crescentini (Porsche 911 GT3) and James Sofronas (Porsche 911 GT3).Dodge Viper pilots Ritch Marziale and Jason Daskalos completed the top ten.Qualifying for the Long Beach SPEED GT Presented by Applied Computer Solutions will take place tomorrow at 8:30 a.m. (PDT).
