ELKHART LAKE, Wi — Jonny Cocker recovered from a late race gafe and passed the Muscle Milk Porsche on the last straight away of the last lap to take the first win for Team Drayson. Cocker was the top qualifier, setting a new qualifying record for the track and reeled in three LMP cars that were ahead of him in the last four laps for the team’s first win of the series.
Team Drayson shown moments of brilliance over the last year, since it moved from the GT Vantage Aston Martin to the Lola Judd-powered LPM car, but it has never been to finish a race on the top rung, with either a shunt and or a mechanical issue getting in its way. Today in Wisconsin, it wiped out all of those nightmares with a brilliant piece of driver by Cocker over the last five laps of the race as he first picked off the Dyson Mazda, and then the defending series champion HPD Acura before passing the Porsche for the win.
More coverage and photos a little later.

LAKEVIEW, Cn — Our erstwhile photographer Dave R. Johnson has travelled to the next stop on the ALMS series, Limerock, near Lakeview, Connecticut and sends us these postcards from the edge, shot on Thursday before any real action on the track.
The winding 1.53 mile track begat this response from Johonson upon his arrival,” Oh my god! This track is gorgeous. I am really glad I came. And the drive over from Hartford is one of the most scenic I have ever been on. The highway actually went through the covered bridge! (see slide show)”
We’ll have more from Limerock and from Johnson over the weekend.
