Daytona Beach, FL - January 29th , Grand-American Road Racing Series Continental Tire Sportscar Challenge had it's first round of the championship this past weekend in Daytona Beach, FL at Daytona International Speedway.

The first round of the series was a 2.5 hour combined Grand Sport  and Sport Touring race. James Gué and teammate Bret Seafuse are starting there 4th season together as teammates, and they also had a brand new 2010 Boss 302R Mustang, which the team just took delivery of last week.

After running the 2005 Mustang for 5 seasons, Gué and Seafuse certainly had a bit of a steep learning curve trying to figure out the setup on a new car in just two 45 minute sessions.  They did the best they could with the time, and Bret posted the 8th quickest time in qualifying out of 39 GS cars. In the race Seafuse ran a strong 7th place until a restart where the officials ruled that he jumped the start and forced the Seafuse to the pits for a stop and go penalty. After serving a penalty Seafuse returned to the track in 37th place in GS and slowly worked his way back the front, before handing off the car to Gué in 17th place. From there Gué worked his way through the field and used pit strategy to get the #37 car back into contention. In the end Gué made it back to 4th place.
