Cumming, Georgia

Tafel Racing is headed west to the flat lands of Salt Lake City, Utah for round five of the American Le Mans Series (ALMS) Larry H. Miller Dealerships Utah Grand Prix to be run this Saturday at Miller Motorsports Park.
Miller Motorsports Park holds the distinction of being the longest road course in America, with its 24-turns and 4.5- miles in distance. The course is no stranger to the Tafel team, having taken the battle for the Grand-Am GT series championship to the last race there in 2006.
The team used the weeks off since Houston to test both Porsche 997 RSR racers and all four drivers for two days at Road Atlanta. The team is maintaining a steady development curve with the new Porsche that they hope will reap mid-season benefits.
Wolf Henzler and Robin Liddell are coming off of a third place finish in the last race at Houston in their No. 71 Tafel 997 RSR. The duo are poised in third place in the ALMS driver standings and are looking to give owner Jim Tafel the team’s first win in ALMS.
