This weekend Daytona's Ric Lovecchio and Troy Flis head for the
Homestead Motorsports Complex to join 50 other Road Racers
from all over the Southeast in a two hour road race. Ric and
Troy are known for their association with the SPIRIT OF DAYTONA
TEAM and the Rolex 24 at Daytona in February. Troy will drive
the two hour race and Ric is the car owner and most important Crew
Chief.
Ric Lovecchio and RML RACING of Daytona are setting their sights
this year on Pro Racing. RML RACING has earned a reputation of
building and driving winning racecars.....setting records all over the
Southeast USA. With many wins in the Sport Car Club of American
(S.C.A.A.) series, Pro Endurance Road Racing was the next set for
RML RACING.
The American Racing League (ARL) was founded in l997 with only a
handful of cars and races. But since then, the series has grown into
over 200 cars and many races and is covered nationally by promo spots,
advertising on television, radio and newspapers.
Troy, who drove the SPIRIT OF DAYTONA in the Rolex 24, will be
behind the wheel of a l976 ALFA ROMEO ALFETTA GT powered
by a 4 cylinder, 2.0 liter twin cam engine. The fuel injected hemi
produces over 150 MPH and sticks to the racing surface with its;
TOYO PROXIS RA 1 rading radials, and sports four wheel disc
brakes and independent suspension.

Championship both in 1998. He won 25 of the 27 races he entered.
Troy is well known for his expert finish in the Rolex 24 in the SPIRIT
OF DAYTONA.

weekend the place to be is the Homestead Motorsports Complex
