Team principles Donna Gilio and Ron Carroll are confident that along with this driver lineup and with one of the fastest proven and winningest H4/E2 cars in the country they stand a great chance at a podium finish. A lot of the success of REC Motorsports is due to the experienced hands and watchful eyes of Ron Carroll who has proven he knows how to build a car that will be more than ready for the 25 Hours of Thunderhill and will be built to the demanding specifications required to win what has become known as the most demanding endurance road race in the world.

 

REC Motorsports Acura Integra with Donna Gilio as the driver, has had a very impressive and consistent year. Donna won the season championship in SCCA ITA and ITX for the San Francisco Region, in the process she set 10 new track records at Infineon Raceway, Thunder Hill and Laguna Seca. Donna has also raced many of the NASA H4 races when time allows and has not been beaten in a NASA Northern California race this year.

If that is not enough Donna, driving the blue REC Motorsports Acura Integra went to the NASA National Championships and placed 2nd in the nation in H4. Donna also won a race and broke a 9 year standing track record at Phoenix Int’l raceway in the ITA class.

 

Another addition to REC Motorsports Team is none other than California's Best Team owner, Gary Faules who has accepted the duties as REC Motorsports head crew chief.

Since Gary Faules has been invited to race in the world Famous La Carrera Panamericana endurance race in Mexico, with the help of California's Best Team driver Jon Emerson and son Will Faules they are in the process of building a car and will not be running a car in this years 25 Hours of Thunderhill.
