March 24, 2009 – Charles Town, WV – Casa de Amigos announced today that Gregg Ginsberg,  2003 MARRS Rookie of the Year and 2008 ITA Runner-up, and John Burkhard, the two-time ITC MARRS Champion and winner of the 2005 Paul H. Norair Trophy, would be competing in the 2009 MARRS Championship as part of the Allsports Grand Prix-sponsored Casa de Amigos Racing Team.

“I think 2009 may be one of my better seasons,” said long-time ITA-competitor Ginsberg. Ginsberg, who has competed since 2003 in a second-generation Honda CRX Si added “The addition of a two-time MARRS Champion will be beneficial to not only the team, but the class too.”

“We learned a great deal about the car last year and, with what we’ve learned, I think 2009 will be a good year for me,” said Burkhard. Burkhard, raced his second-generation CRX twice last year. The two-time ITC champion is realistic about the team’s potential in ITA – “Our cars will be the ones to beat.”
