From AllPar:
Chrysler’s SRT Motorsports will run two Vipers in the Monterey Grand Prix at Laguna Seca this weekend, May 3-4; this will be the fourth event in the IMSA TUDOR United SportsCar Championship, which has already seen Vipers capture two podium finishes and a pole position. The Sunday race will take around two hours, and will run on a challenging 2.238 mile circuit. The Monterey Grand Prix at Laguna Seca has two events, each including a pair of classes, and will be broadcast live this Sunday, May 4, on Fox Sports 1 at 5:30 p.m. EDT; SRT Motorsports’ GTLM class will compete along with the Prototype division.

After a part-time schedule in 2012, SRT Motorsports debuted at Laguna Seca last season and tallied a top-five result in the Monterey Bay area. Dominik Farnbacher and Marc Goossens piloted the No. 91 SRT Viper GTS-R to a fifth-place result on the famous Northern California circuit, the team’s third-straight top-five result at the time – also marking the first three top-fives by the fledgling program. With the momentum continuing after Monterey, SRT Motorsports went on to capture its first win at Road America and first two poles in the following months.

The street-legal 2014 SRT Viper TA holds the production car lap record at Laguna Seca with a time of 1:33.62.
The driver quotes below were supplied by SRT:

• Marc Goossens: Competing at Laguna Seca Raceway is amazing with the famous corkscrew and elevation changes; there’s a very good atmosphere in the paddock that everybody wants to experience. The fact that we are starting to go to past race tracks has its advantages. Last year, we went to Laguna and it was my first time being back there in a number of years and our first time going there with the SRT Viper.
• Dominik Farnbacher: Last year, Monterey was not the best race for us. We were struggling to find speed in the practice sessions and had issues with grip. Monterey has very typical asphalt, but it’s very, very strange asphalt that is suited to certain tires and a setup, which makes you really work a lot harder on it. I’m really looking forward to Laguna, I like the corkscrew corner and I’ve always been successful there. I think the track suits me well and we’re going to work to get the Viper well-suited for the track.
• Jonathan Bomarito: I was born and raised in Monterey County and I used to ride my bike from my backyard up to the track as a kid. I’ve always been around it. I taught at the racing school up there for a number of years and it’s definitely my hometown. I would go up there as a young kid with my dad and I remember going out there and watching IndyCar practice when I was very small, my first memories of racing are out there at Laguna Seca.
• Kuno Wittmer: Monterey is going to be an interesting event for us given that the street car actually holds the record over the other competitors in the championship. That’s promising – the big V10 front-engine is balanced throughout the chassis in a way that it performs well at Laguna Seca and that’s something to look forward to since our race cars come from the same genetics. As far as performing, I think we can do very well. I love driving the Viper there and I think the Viper loves to breath there. It loves to come down the hill after the corkscrew and pick up speed.

The #91 car will be driven by Dominik Farnbacher and Marc Goossens; the lead engineer is Bill Riley. The #93 will be driven by Jonathan Bomarito and Kuno Wittmer; the lead engineer is Matt Bejnarowicz.

May and I will be there, live watching from the SRT track-side suite. It's at turn 2, best seats in the house. We will have our Viper in the Car Corral along with our NorCal and SoCal brothers.

Good luck SRT Motorsports Vipers!!!
