NEWS: Press Release Buffomante Racing Enterprises FI-44 American Power Boat Association (APBA) Offshore Racing FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE July 10, 2002 Team B.R.E. recorded its first win in the prestigious Great Lakes Silver Cup Series with a flag victory at the Eastlake Grand Prix held on Lake Erie, July 7, 2002. This win coupled with the teams third place finish at the June 23, 2002 St. Claire River Classic enabled Team B.R.E. to take over the points lead in the highly competitive Factory One class. Team driver Angelo Buffomante said, "The Eastlake water was perfect conditions for our boat with one to two foot chop and light winds. Tony did a great job working the throttles which allowed us to have a maximum speed of over 83 miles an hour. Team B.R.E.s 25’ WARLOCK averaged 76.1 m.p.h. for the 60 mile event. We hope to continue with this momentum at the next race to be held at Fairport, Ohio on July 21, 2002." The five race Great Lake Silver Cup Series ends with races at St. Claire, Michigan on August 4, 2002 and the championship race at Grand Haven, Michigan on September 1, 2002. Tony Buffomante, owner and throttleman, stated "This victory would not have been possible without the support received from Mercury Racing, Victory Offshore, AuditQuest.com, Warlock Power Boats and Hydromotive Props. Our Intimidator Quad IV prop delivered great performance in both the smooth and choppy water conditions. A third place finish at the last race was a thrill, but leading flag to flag at this event with such tough competition from the other boats in our class made the race very exciting. We also want to thank our family and friends who have contributed to the cause." Further information on TEAM B.R.E.’s activities can be seen on the Great Lakes Silver Cup website, SilverCup.com and on the APBA-Offshore.com site.
