Before cars even take to the track for Friday morning's first practice session at Watkins Glen, SunTrust and the entire Wayne Taylor Racing organisation already know that Saturday's Grand-Am Rolex Series round will be one they will never forget.
Just making it to the Sahlen's Six Hours of The Glen represents the mother of all victories for the team, and all involved know that it could not have been done without a tremendous amount of support from the entire Rolex Series community.
Fifteen days ago, the WTR transporter - carrying the #10 SunTrust Pontiac Dallara race car and almost everything else the organisation carries to races - burned to the ground while travelling back to base from the last Rolex Series event at Laguna Seca. No-one was hurt in the incident, and truck drivers Larry Harmon and Buddy Johnson were able to save the tractor unit, but everything else was destroyed. Since then, the second-year team has had to perform above and beyond the usual call of duty to re-assemble, piece-by-piece, its entire travelling roadshow.
It's been busier than you can imagine, and very, very difficult to understand," lead driver Max Angelelli admitted, "It's been a lot of work, to say the least, talking to people, arranging everything that needs to be arranged for us to go racing again.
"We all had our areas of responsibility. I had my stuff to do, like contacting our technical support people, our international sponsors, and all of our suppliers outside the US. I'll tell you something, everybody has been so amazing. And I thought I knew about our guys and how good they are at what they do, but I now have a whole, new feeling about how good they are. They're like gold.
