• 1:32
  Speaker 1: believe June with racist to follow on July one, second
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: and third, and I want a gentleman, Well, welcome to
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: the studio, Welcome to bloomber Trent. Why don't you begin
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: by just telling us exactly what is this super Trofeo series,
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: how does it work? And what kind of cars are
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: you gonna be driving? Right? So, the car itself is
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: the Lamborghini Hurrican LP six to super Trofeo. It's a
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: car specifically built for this championship. Every R is the
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: same in the series. Uh, there's a North American Championship,
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: European Championship, in Asian Championship. Obviously David and myself and
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: the Preceige Performance Team compete in the North American Championship.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: And again it's it's a car specifically built by Lamborghini
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: for this race series. So who all David competes in
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: in the Super Trefeo series and particularly in the races
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: you're going to be involved in this in a couple
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: of weeks. There's a total usually of twenty two six
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: cars that that compete. Some of the cars have one driver,
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: some have to they're all exactly the same cars, same statistics,
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: same power train, everything the cars. Of course, each team
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: has the ability to set the car up based upon
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: the needs of the driver and their touch field for
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: the car. So you'll have a pro class, which will
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: individual one pro will be driving, or a pro pro.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: You have a Pro am which is one pro driver
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: with an amateur and then you'll have an amateur US.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: We're just an amateur driver because it gives an entry
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: point for different drivers who want to experience racing to
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: come in and if they want to, they can move
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: through the ranks, whether they're younger, whether they're older. Now,
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: before we get to more about the actual race, I
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: want you to just tell us a little bit about
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: what the automobiles, what the Lambeaus were doing at West
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: Point Trent, right, So, uh this weekend, UH, there was
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: a car show the Ramapo Concore uh not too far
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: away from the Prestige family of dealerships right up in
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: North Jersey around along Route seventeen. But from there on
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: Sunday there was there was a pretty good, pretty big gathering,
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: pretty big drive where a lot of the cars that
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: competed in this concour ended up driving to West Point.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: One of the cars that did go to West Point
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: was the number one car are one of our Hurricane
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: supertrafos that our teammate unfortunately couldn't join us today drives
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: he's in the Pro class. That car is been wrapped
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: in a really really cool uh camouflage American flag kind
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: of mash up uh for the Wish for Our Heroes Foundation.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: So we were trying to raise awareness, race support and
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: and ultimately funds to help support the Wish for Our
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: Heroes Foundation. But we brought the car over to West Point,
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: had it sitting right in front of the Fair Hotel
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: all day yesterday and it was just an absolutely unbelievable site.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: So David, you uh started out in banking, that's correct
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: in Canada, and I guess you did well enough that
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: you could go down to Florida and start racing cars.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: So what what category of driver are you and how
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: big of how big a part of that is a
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: super torfeo racing and particularly with the Lamborghinis, Well, I'm
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: I'm driving to back in the past, I would have
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: considered a gentleman driver back in the past, even though
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: I was driving in a prototype class. Today I'm I'm
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: qualified as an amateur driver and I'm teamed with a professional.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: My my co driver was Stepan Wilson, who was in
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: the Inn five hundred a few weeks ago. So it's
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: nice to have good someone good with you in the
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: advantage of doing that is that the two of you
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: can work as a team to help one another. And
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: the idea is is because car racing, like what we're doing,
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: is meant to be something that increases the value of
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: the brand. It gets customers in touch with what the
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: cars can really do as well as to show people
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: that it's fun and prestige. Basically pulls together a total
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: package where they want to have their clients, others outside
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: in the world as well as the drivers to see
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: this is what cars are all about. Because America is
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: a country that's really a lot of its foundation is
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: around the automotive business, and what we're doing is putting
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: the public in touch with these unbelievably fast cars. Because
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: these aren't play toys where you just take a Lamborghinian
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: and slap some paint on it. This is a purpose
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: built race car that's pretty quick, Trent. This is what
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: a V ten. We're talking about a five point to
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: Leader V ten with a seven speed dual clutch automated
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: manual transmission. Yes, Sarah, so it's a point to Leader
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: Audi derived Lamborghini developed UH five point two Leader V
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: ten pushing out about six hundred and twenty horsepower. UH.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: Certainly can do a bit more, but the powers cut
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: back just a bit for reliability sake, UH cars rpm.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: So if you can imagine a five point two Leader
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: V tens screaming at eight thousand rpm, it's uh, it's
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: it's quite a thing to behold. Um. It is a
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: six speed UH double clutch paddle actuated transmission, specifically a
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: race gearbox. Not really something you'd find on the road. Again,
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: more for reliability sake, unless you happened to be in
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: the Italian police department, because I understand the LP six
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: ten four is the official police car version of going well,
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: but at least you didn't start out in policing. You
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: started out in racing. How did you get into racing,
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: your young man, what's the what's the career path? Right? So,
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: I've been very lucky, very fortunate to be given opportunities
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: from a very young age. My father originally grew up
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: in South Jersey on the water. He raced boats for
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: a little while, but then once I was thought of,
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: once I started to come around, yeah, my mom more
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: or less put an end to his racing career. So
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: ultimately I just grew up as a race fan, watching
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: Formula One races on Sunday mornings with him. Ended up
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: getting into motocross around the age of four, started racing
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: cards at the age of eight, and ultimately cars at
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: the age of thirteen. Gentlemen, good luck, Thank you so
