19 March 2009 – Washington, DC – With one month until the Casa de Amigos Racing Team takes to the track for the first time in 2009, activity at the casa has hit a feverish pace and anticipation is running high. The April 28-29 event will be held at Summit Point Raceway in Summit Point and is the first race of the 2009 Mid-Atlantic Road Racing Series.

With six drivers planning full seasons and a partial season, team principle Roger Troxell is busy ensuring that the off-season builds and pre-season checks are completed. Troxell is putting in what can only be called a Roger-like performance to get the work finished.

“Even when the previous weekend went without a hitch, I won’t put a car on track without going over it first,” said Troxell. That attention is a major factor in the multi-year success of the Amigos. A trouble-free race (about 60 minutes of track time) usually results in four to six hours of labor to ensure the car is ready for its next outing. Troxell is matter of fact about this attention to detail. “It’s all part of being ready to race. Would you rather find a problem in the garage or when the part fails at race pace?”
