TruSpeed Motorsports Gets 2010 Season Off to a Rousing Start 
In the SCCA World Challenge GT Point Standings
Team Looks Forward to 'Home' Race in Long Beach
 
COSTA MESA, Calif., April 14 - Two of TruSpeed Motorsports' drivers are in 
the top 10 of the SCCA World Challenge GT point standings heading into their 
"home" race, the Grand Prix of Long Beach. After the team's solid showing 
at the recent season opener at the St. Petersburg Grand Prix, the team is in 
prime position to stay ahead of the field at the upcoming race being held 
this weekend, April 16-18, in Long Beach, Calif. 
 
The professional racing team is a division of TruSpeed, the largest 
independent Porsche dealer in the United States. While the racing team works out of 
the World Challenge paddock at Long Beach, the TruSpeed sales and service 
groups will have a display inside the Convention Center. 
 
TruSpeed driver Patrick Lindsey finished fourth in the season opener March 
27 on the street circuit in St. Petersburg, Fla. He recorded the best finish 
for the team at that event. He was involved in an accident in the second 
half of the St. Petersburg doubleheader, however, so it is Rob Morgan who 
holds the highest position for the team in the early point standings.  The 
latter recorded eighth- and sixth-place finishes at St. Petersburg and now sits 
eighth in the point standings, while Lindsey is tenth.  
 
TruSpeed Motorsports' Charles Morgan was the model of consistency at St. 
Petersburg with two 11th-place finishes. He is 13th in the overall point 
standings going into Long Beach.
 
The action is sure to be as intense at Long Beach as it was at the 
season-opening doubleheader at St. Petersburg.
 
Lindsey started eighth in the 31-car field for the first race at St. 
Petersburg in the No. 57 Porsche 911 GT3 sponsored by TruSpeed, Horton Autosport 
and Sloan Securities. All three classes (GT, GTS and Touring Car) ran 
simultaneously at this event, so the traffic was heavy.  Lindsey got off to a great 
standing start, passing two cars by the end of lap one to advance to sixth 
place, where he stayed for much of the race. 
 
He made his move with just three laps to go in Turn 1 and it stuck, with 
Lindsey getting fourth behind only the winner, Randy Pobst; Andy Pilgrim and 
James Sofronas. "It was my first race in a Porsche and my first street race, 
so we were really pleased with fourth in our first outing," Lindsey said 
later.  
 
Rob Morgan in the No. 46 Porsche got a great start and by lap two he had 
moved up two positions in TruSpeed's flagship 911 GT3 and was running in ninth 
place. "I had fuel pick-up problems throughout the race," Morgan explained 
afterwards. "But I had a quick car. My fastest race lap was just off the 
fastest lap of the race. We'll work on improving our qualifying, and I feel 
confident we'll be right in there." In the end, Morgan settled for sixth place. 
 
His father, veteran racer Charles Morgan, had the task of breaking in the 
team's brand-new Porsche. He qualified 15th but encountered problems early in 
the race, dropping him to 24th.  He steadily made his way back through the 
field and he took the checkered in 11th position. His No. 47 is sponsored by 
PrivacyStar, a Blackberry application that provides users with a privacy 
solution for unwanted calls.
 
With such a strong showing, the team is anticipating even better results at 
the upcoming Grand Prix of Long Beach. "After St. Pete, we're 
super-confident in the cars and the TruSpeed/Horton group, and we're looking forward to 
the 'show' aspect and racing on our home turf," Lindsey said.
 
The Long Beach Grand Prix schedule shows practice sessions at 4:20 p.m. 
Friday and 7:15 a.m. Saturday for the World Challenge cars.  Qualifying is 
slated for 8:25 a.m. Sunday, with the race following the IZOD IndyCar race at 
approximately 4:14 p.m. Sunday afternoon.
