The list of choices includes the elite of the elite. It consists of drivers with at least 35 starts, five Series victories and/or one Series championship. Pick three drivers. Voting will close at midnight on Wednesday, October 15 to coincide with the start of the Monterey Sports Car Championships. The Series will reveal the results during the weekend. My favorite driver is Terry Borcheller from the GT1 Bell Motorsports team, but Jaime Melo's performance in the GT2 class of the 2007 Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring was amazing. He had worn Michelin tires on his # 62 Ferrari and there had been just two caution flags during the endurance race with the last one over two hours from the finish. I like Jon Field's hard work. http://www.americanlemans.com/news/Article.aspx?ID=4882 Piloto Jaime Melo :: Brasil (http://www.jaimemelojr.com/2008/index2.html) YouTube - Battle - Final lap Alms Sebring GT2 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MjWo8VdMb8I) 2008 drivers http://www.americanlemans.com/drivers_and_teams/drivers.aspx ...
