AKRON, OH
August 7, 2003
The #77 STaSIS Audi A4 that led the Mid Ohio Touring Car race from the pole
last year was destroyed in a trailer fire this week. The STaSIS #78 car
driven by Jon Prall and supported by the staff of Cascade Audi has been
recovered to represent Audi for the August 10th race.

The team would not be at the race without the perseverance of the crew
and the unwavering support of Cascade Audi. Having grown up supporting
their fathers racing efforts, Cascade owners Michelle, Pat and Mike Primm
stepped in with financial support, shop facilities and service technicians.
If you are going to the race this weekend, please stop by the STaSIS paddock
and thank the Primm family for bringing Audi to Mid Ohio.
Cascade Audi will keep the STaSIS Audi A4 Touring Car on display from
August 11 - August 17. The dealership is located at:
4149 State Road
Cuyahoga Falls, OH 44223
10 miles north of Akron just off Ohio turnpike exit 12. Touring Car fans
that visit Cascade Audi can pick up discount certificates valued up to $500
in STaSIS performance kits or Audi OE Parts. They will also meet an amazing
group of people with a long history of motorsports involvement.
And as always, thanks to Audi owners everywhere for your support of Audi Motorsports.

Re: Ditto: THANKS to the Primms & Cascade for all the support!
A tough weekend (again...)
The left front outer CV joint came apart in the middle of the race. Bummer. We had pulled it together for qualifying and during the first lap of the race I was able to get up to 4th place from an 8th place qualifying (look for in car video soon from the start...)
I would also like to echo the thanks to the folks from Cascade Auto Group. They were extremely great to work with. One of the few sponsors that really understands racing and all the highs and lows it can bring. They were also great to party with after the race which never hurts.
Thanks again Cascade, after a tough week with the fire and a hard trip out there, it was nice to have support like that.

Damn JP, sounds like a great launch! Can't wait to see the video.
Hope you guys get the gremlins exorcized by the time Laguna Seca rolls around. Let us know if there's anything our group can do to help out. I emailed Paul and let him know that we're behind you and the entire Stasis team all the way. There'll definitely be a good bunch of Audi drivers supporting you in Monterrey!
