A year ago, the racing Vipers of the SRT Motorsports team were happy to leave the ALMS race in Long Beach, Calif., with a pole position and a podium finish in the GT class.
This weekend the Viper GTS-R race cars return to Long Beach with the new TUDOR United SportsCar Championship with more confidence and podium finishes in the first two races of this season.
Drivers Marc Goossens and Dominik Farnbacher in the No. 91 car and Kuno Wittmer and Jonathan Bomarito in the No. 93 car are well acquainted with the 11 turns of the Long Beach street circuit.
So what does the team foresee for this race? We talked with Jonathan Bomarito and racing manager Gary Johnson about Long Beach. Spend a few minutes and watch the video.

Do you know your blood type? Mine is 100 octane (not your standard blood bank classification). At any given moment, I’m thinking about cars – driving one, fixing one, buying one or (in my dreams) restoring one. So I love to tell stories that involve horsepower, brake and wheel diameters and 0-to-60 times – and the people who make it happen. Because behind every awesome vehicle are amazing people with vision and the desire to make it a reality. I cover Mopar, Dodge, SRT and motorsports for Stellantis Digital Media. I learned to drive on a 1973 Jeep CJ-5 with the rare Super Jeep option package and three-speed manual transmission. I still belong to the dwindling club of people who prefer to shift their own gears, and think the best way to drive is with the top down!
