Article Excerpt:
1100458-878588-thumbnail.jpgThough not quite the results they were hoping for, Guy Cosmo and Fountain Motorsports will take a 6th-place finish for the Grand-Am KONI Challenge at Mosport International Raceway in Bowmanville, Ontario and roll into Lexington at the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course for the EMCO Gears Classic June 23-24 .

The Fountain Motorsports #127 BMW ran 2nd quickest in each of the three practice sessions on Friday as well as Saturday's morning practice.  David Tuaty qualified the car 5th and ran a steady 4th during the starting stint. At the first yellow, about 35-40 minutes into the race, Guy Cosmo climbed in and moved the car up to 2nd. Never one to follow, Cosmo soon passed for the lead and held on to it for 12 laps.

A yellow came out, and due to a radio mis-communication, the team pitted on the second lap of the caution. While this was the wrong choice, Cosmo managed to pass a lot of cars on the restart. After the first lap under green, the #127 Fountain Motorsports BMW came by start finish in 4th place. Unfortunately, the car and setup wouldn’t hold up to what it was during practice and Cosmo wound up losing 2 spots in the last 10 minutes to finish the race in 6th.
