The Pirelli Drivers Cup was part of the races at the Global Tuner GP at Laguna Seca this weekend. On Saturday, the overall winner of the 45 minute race was my buddy Galen Bieker of Werks II Motorsport. He was also the winner in his Group B classification since he has driving a '08 gt3 Cup car. I have known Galen since 1984 when we were part of POC (Porsche Owners Club) back then. On Sunday, the overall winner of the 45 minute race was also a friend, Peter Wong, of Vancouver, Canada. He also was the winner of the Group C classification since he was driving a '10 gt3 Cup car. Peter and I (with our wives) had dinner on Saturday night and now he thinks I am bringing him good luck & wants me to go to all his races (LOL).

But this is not his first rodeo. Peter won his races at the Pirelli Drivers Cup race at Portland International on June 12/13 of this year, so he is no stranger to the podium. Several other Teamspeed regulars were entrants at the Global Tuner GP, including Savyboy with his Aqua/Gold '10 RS. In the photo below, Galen Bieker (left) and Doug Baron (center - winner of the Group A category in a 996 gt3 cup car) have a bubbly celebration of their victories on Saturday! Doug recently picked up a new '11 RS White/Gold via European Delivery in Zuffenhausen. z356
