SHANE LEWIS PREPARES FOR BATTLE AT TROIS-RIVIERES

-FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE-

JUPITER, Fla., July 31, 2003 - Shane Lewis is ready for battle in the
streets of the Canadian city of Trois-Rivieres. Competing in the
American Le Mans Series (ALMS) first street race of the 2003 season,
Lewis and the #63 ACEMCO Automotive Ferrari 360 GT have finished in the
top-five of the ALMS GT class already this year. That top-five came at
the high-speed Road Atlanta circuit shortly after leading the
prestigious 24 Hours of Le Mans in the team's debut. However, Le Circuit
Trois-Rivieres in Quebec is a very different facility than the fast and
sweeping Road Atlanta or world famous circuit in Le Mans. The street
course, 11 turns and 1.521 miles long, is a tight, wall-lined course
through the picturesque city requiring peak concentration of Lewis and
co-driver Terry Borcheller as well as a near perfect set-up for the
Ferrari 360 GT Modena to challenge the dominant Porsche 911s.

"Racing at a street course is just like being in a street fight,"
offered Lewis. "It isn't always the biggest guy or the fastest guy that
wins. Sometimes the guy willing to take the chances and who uses his
head will be the one that walks away on top. We're going to be the David
to the Porsche's Goliath there for sure. I haven't raced at
Trois-Rivieres so I'm looking forward to the challenge of competing
there. But, it'll be a difficult track for the ACEMCO Ferrari. The
street courses aren't our best type of track. We're strengthening the
brain trust with the addition of Terry and Jim (Bell, team engineer) to
the team and that is a good thing. However, the competition in the GT
class of the ALMS is some of the best talent in any class of racing out
there. So, we have a lot of work in front of us still. If we get the
right conditions in qualifying, who knows where we can start and that
will definitely help where we finish. We've had a great record this year
completing races when a lot of things have worked against us. If we can
carry that on to Trois-Rivieres, and we're the last guys standing, we
just might walk away from this fight on top."
