Heyer Performance's new location at 2362 Old Middlefield Way is finally ready for tenants, and Heyer's shop is one of the first to occupy the brand new Twin Palms Automotive Center. "We optimistically predicted that we'd be in the new facility late last year, but due to construction delays and some bureaucratic red tape, the dates kept getting pushed back. The developers are putting the final touches on the center, and we've finally made the move." Tony said.

The new setup features four roll-up doors for improved access and additional workspace. The customer office

Porsche Returns to Prototype Racing

Porsche announced in April that it will re-enter prototype racing in the American Le Mans Series' LMP2 class. ALMS sports car races feature four classes of cars with privateer teams competing with factory-backed entries. Based upon the world famous 24 Hours of Le Mans, most ALMS events are two hour and forty-five minute sprint races. ALMS also sanctions two twelve-hour endurance events at Sebring Florida, and Road Atlanta in Georgia.

Penske Motorsports will field a single LMP2 prototype for Porsche, debuting at the final two events of the season: Petit Le Mans at Road Atlanta on October 1st, and Laguna Seca on October 16th. Sascha Maassen, Lucas Luhr, and Emmanuel Collard will drive as the team continues development during the 2006 season.

Penske's history with Porsche reaches back to the Can Am series, and the 917/10. George Follmer won the 1972 title in the Penske prepared Porsche, and Mark Donahue crushed the field with the potent 917/30 prototype in 1973.

Porsche's focus on the LMP2 category reflects their desire to sell customer racecars to teams looking to move up from GT2 competition for the 2007 season. Porsche's last purpose built race- car was the 911 GT1 in 1998.
