Road Atlanta Enduro Driver Lineup

Preparation for the upcoming Road Atlanta enduro is under way and we expect to have a winning car roll off the trailer in Braselton, Georgia for December 4th’s nine hour endurance race.

The team’s newest car, 786, was built specifically for endurance races and will be fulfilling its destiny (cue The Imperial March), racing for the E2 class win.

PakExp welcomes two new drivers to the team for this race.  We are pleased to have Karl Thomson of Toronto, Ontario, Canada with us.  Karl has earned great success in Grand Am KONI Challenge, as both a driver and team owner of C360R.  C360R won both team and driver’s championships in this year’s KONI Challenge series.  The youngster on the team, Angelo Dinkov, hails from Greenville, South Carolina and is our kind of driver.  He’s already posted a number of wins, some fast laps and track records.

Returning to PakExp for this race is Internet-famous Jack Baruth, fresh from his first KONI Challenge race at VIR in October, followed by the Cadillac CTS-V Challenge at Monticello and the inaugural Skip Barber Mazdaspeed Media Challenge.  Our fourth driver is PakExp team driver, Brian Makse, and he is, well, special, and doesn’t concern himself with such silly things like results.

This enduro effort is being supported by our fantastic crew: Sam Myers, Rob Demorest and Matt Johnston.
