Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Winning Wayne by Randi Luxe Lamborghini Super Trofeo North America Is Stronger than Ever in 2021. DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – The Lamborghini Super Trofeo North America enters its ninth season in the best shape ever for the series. Car count is at a record high. New teams and Lamborghini dealers are on board. The schedule is as strong as it’s been. It’s no wonder why Chris Ward, Senior Manager of Motorsports for Automobili Lamborghini America, is all smiles heading to this week’s season-opening round at Circuit of The Americas (COTA) in Austin, Texas. Ward is realizing the fruits of labor from the Lamborghini America team to make the IMSA-sanctioned single-make racing series even more electrifying and competitive. “We’re a record grid for the North American championship,” Ward says. “That’s because there’s been a lot of work to engage more teams into the championship. By virtue of the type of racing we’re doing, with teams that have customers, if you have more teams, you get more customers. “There was a big focus in 2019 and ’20 of engaging people and encouraging them to come and try it,” continues Ward. “Fortunately, that’s paid dividends.” The doubleheader round at COTA features 30 cars on the entry list, split among the four classes of Pro ProAm, Am and LB Cup. A number of high-profile drivers, teams and dealers return, but there is just as much excitement for the newcomers to Lamborghini Super Trofeo North America. Four new teams with pedigrees in other series are providing nine new Lamborghini Huracán Super Trofeo Evo entries on the grid. Kelly-Moss Road and Race (with a winning Porsche legacy in both the GT3 Cup Challenge and Carrera Cup North America) will have three cars, with MCR Racing, Taurino Racing and TP3 Racing fielding two cars each. A dozen Lamborghini dealers from around the United States – another record – are involved in 2021 to support the customer racing program. COTA is just the first of five amazing American road courses to host Lamborghini Super Trofeo North America this year. The track just outside Austin is also home to the Formula One U.S. Grand Prix. The Lamborghinis will be sharing the pristine and challenging 3.4-mile, 20-turn circuit this weekend with all three of NASCAR’s top-tier series. Following COTA on the 2021 schedule will be stops at VIRginia International Raceway (June 4-6), Watkins Glen International (June 24-27), Road America (Aug. 6-8) and WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca (Sept. 10-12) before teams and drivers head to Misano, Italy, for the final North American round (Oct. 28-29) and the World Final (Oct 30-31) that includes their counterparts from the European and Asian series. Competition in each North American class should be strong. In the top-level Pro class, Steven Aghakhani and Jacob Eidson are looking to go one better in 2021 after finishing just three points shy of winning the Pro championship last year. They are back driving the No. 6 O’Gara Motorsport/US RaceTronics, Lamborghini Beverly Hills Lamborghini Huracán Super Trofeo EVO. By no means are Aghakhani and Eidson a shoo-in for the title. “They’ve got stiff competition across the board, honestly,” Ward says. “With a nine-car Pro field, it’s going to be pretty exciting, it’s going to be pretty competitive.” Teaming in the No. 44 Ansa Motorsports, Lamborghini Broward entry will be Sergio Jimenez, who had a pair of Pro class wins last season, and Nelson Piquet Jr., son of the F1 great who has also raced in F1, NASCAR, Formula E and the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Others to watch in the Pro class are: Max Weering, driver of the No. 61 MCR Racing, Lamborghini Charlotte Huracán, who is competing in Lamborghini Super Trofeo in both North America and Europe. Weering won the European 2021 opener. Nico Jamin and Scott Andrews in the No. 13 Ansa Motorsports, Lamborghini Broward entry. Andrews was on the winning Le Mans Prototype 3 team at this year’s Rolex 24 At Daytona and won a pair of IMSA Prototype Challenge races last year. “Scott’s kind of winning everything he sits in at the moment,” says Ward. Jamin is a former USF2000 and Pro Mazda champion in the open-wheel junior ranks. ProAm features some tantalizing entries as well. Victor Gomez IV moves into the class after winning all 10 Am races and the title last year. The Puerto Rican will drive the No. 29 Change Racing, Lamborghini Charlotte Huracán. Loris Spinelli, who won multiple Lamborghini Super Trofeo championships in both North America and Europe in 2017 and ’18, returns to pair in ProAm with Claude Senhoreti in the No. 51 Taurino Racing, Lamborghini Palm Beach entry. The Am class includes Randy Sellari (No. 03 Wayne Taylor Racing, Lamborghini Paramus Huracán), who won six races on his way to the LB Cup crown in 2020. Luke Berkeley, a 17-year-old sensation in the No. 23 Dream Racing Motorsport, Lamborghini Broward Huracán, is another to watch – as is Giano Taurino, driver of the No. 88 Taurino Racing, Lamborghini Palm Beach Huracán and son of the team owner. And don’t overlook Alan Metni (No. 99 Change Racing/Lamborghini Dallas Huracán), who joins the series after dominating the Porsche GT3 Cup Masters class the past three years. LB Cup contains faces familiar and new this season. John Hennessy (No. 33 O’Gara Motorsport/US RaceTronics, Lamborghini San Diego Huracán) and Matt Dicken (No. 36 Change Racing, Lamborghini Charlotte Huracán) each won LB Cup races in 2020. Newcomers include Scott Welham (No. 82 Change Racing, Lamborghini Charlotte Huracán), whose goal to race last year was delayed by the global pandemic, and Jordan Missig (No. 53 Wayne Taylor Racing, Lamborghini Greenwich Huracán), who has drawn rave reviews for his skill at the wheel. Liberal Bob Beckel Makes Costly Mistake of Trying to “Destroy” James Woods…It Doesn’t End Well For Poor Bobby. If poor Bob wasn't hitting the sauce before this tweet, he is now James Woods always has amazing tweets, but once in a while, he has one that goes mega, mega-viral. That happened recently when he posted a tweet about 2020 being our “last stand” in America and urged Americans to “vote like your life depends on it.” Here’s what James said: “This is our last stand, folks. And here’s your last defender. If they take him down, America is gone forever. Vote for @realDonaldTrump like your life depends on it.” This is our last stand, folks. And here’s your last defender. If they take him down, America is gone forever. Vote for @realDonaldTrump like your life depends on it. pic.twitter.com/Yb2IcD9nXJ — James Woods (@RealJamesWoods) August 12, 2020. More from Wayne Dupree. The tweet went wildly viral and as you can imagine triggered a slew of unhinged liberals. One of those triggered liberals was Bob Beckel. You’ll remember Bob from the Fox News show “The Five.” He was a co-host on there until he had to go back into rehab. Beckel decided to try and “destroy” James Woods with a really rude and nasty tweet responding to Wood’s viral post. Here’s what Bob said: “How did you turn into such an asshole. You’re a smart guy one of the smartest in the world and you side with this idiot. Woods you are a sell out” Bob probably felt pretty good about himself after writing that, but his glory was short-lived because James Woods’s response had to cut him down to the bone. Here is James’s response: “Your brother Graham is one of the finest men I know, and one of my dearest friends. I’ll do him the courtesy of letting this slide. I know he’s embarrassed enough. Have a nice day. #INSTABLOCK” Your brother Graham is one of the finest men I know, and one of my dearest friends. I’ll do him the courtesy of letting this slide. I know he’s embarrassed enough. Have a nice day. #INSTABLOCK https://t.co/nOQCZWKeHf — James Woods (@RealJamesWoods) August 14, 2020. Woods is obviously referring to Beckle’s embarrassing behavior that likely stems from his on-again/off-again substance abuse and battle. Needless to say, I think James Woods got the better of Beckel since we now all know that Beckle’s own brother is embarrassed by him. Maybe that will teach Beckel to keep his yap shut…but I doubt it, he’s not the sharpest tool in the shed. ‘You randy b******s’: Jeremy Clarkson names two wanton stud rams trying to mate with his flock of sheep after Wayne Rooney and Leonardo DiCaprio. Jeremy Clarkson has named two ‘randy’ stud rams after footballer Wayne Rooney and Oscar-winning actor Leonardo DiCaprio. The Top Gear host – who has spent the pandemic filming his new series Clarkson’s Farm on his 1,000 acre farm in Oxfordshire – made the hilarious reveal in a clip from his upcoming Amazon show, saying: ‘We’re about to bring [out] old Leonardo and Wayne, as I’ve called them,’ before releasing the animals into his flock of sheep. Noticing that the herd’s ewes were drawn to the two rams in a clip seen by The Sun, the outspoken TV host, 61, joked: ‘You randy little b******s, you. Wayne is a bigger s*****r than Leonardo.’ Cheeky: Jeremy Clarkson, 61, has named two ‘randy’ rams after footballer Wayne Rooney and Oscar-winning actor Leonardo DiCaprio (pictured with sheep on his Oxfordshire farm in 2020) He added: ‘Wayne’s going to go after the slightly older ones, Leonardo’s taking the younger ones.’ The love lives of both Wayne, 35, and Leonardo, 46, have made headlines over the years.
