You finished second in the Rookie of the year honors this year with three
top tens and a second place. What were some of the keys of the success of
your team?
Scott Bove
We came off a great year in Grand Am in 1999 (USRRC) as top
Rookie of the year, being new to the WCGT in 2000 we took a conservative
approach to our goal of "Rookie of the year" and focused on preparation of
the car and top ten finishes.
We lost a few points in the first three
races to Justin [Jackson this year's WCGT Rookie of the Year], mostly due to us having to get used to the car and the
set up (like all GT3 teams had to this year). So Justin got off to a good
size lead in the beginning of the year. He also had the advantage of running
three WCGT races last year so he was more familiar with the drivers and
the series as a whole.
Once we settled in to our groove, we were very
competitive for the following six races. We were the unfortunate
victim to several Corvettes throughout the season, Reese Cox #98 at Road
Atlanta hit us twice, once at turn 12 almost ending my year and another
time 5 laps later at turn 7 putting back from 5th to 17th. I managed to
pick up 5 positions in the next 3 laps and finished 12th. With Justin
finishing 4th at RA we lost valuable points.
