Au revoir to Montreal as Magnus Racing leaves with a fifth place

DateTuesday, August 31, 2010 at 02:15PM

August 30, 2010 (Salt Lake City, Calif.) – It was an up and down day in Montreal as the No. 44 Magnus Racing Porsche 911 GT3 of John Potter and Craig Stanton went from the back, to the front, to the back, and ultimately crossed the finish line in fifth position.

Debuting its “Magnus Racing, eh?” livery for the first time on the weekend, Potter took the green flag in tenth position, but the team gambled on track position to keep him out on track during an early yellow flag when most other cars went to the pits. As a result, Potter led the race overall under yellow and inherited the GT class lead. That, however, placed him perfectly in the middle of two spinning Daytona Prototypes on the restart, forcing him to take to the grass to avoid a collision.

Making it through that near-miss, Potter led the GT race for several laps before he spun entering turn two. He rejoined down the order and finished out his stint trouble-free until handing over to Stanton.

Stanton, cool as ever, jumped into the Magnus Racing Porsche in ninth and began making progress through the field. Over the final hour, he picked off several cars before catching the No. 70 Mazda RX-8 of Sylvain Tremblay, which was running fifth. Although Stanton could get around the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve faster than Tremblay, he found making a pass difficult on the lightweight Mazda difficult. In the final minutes of the race, however, Stanton got the pass done and was running behind the fourth-placed Mazda and third-placed Camaro with an opportunity to move the Magnus Racing Porsche up to third. Ever the professional, Stanton elected to keep the nose of the Porsche clean and crossed the line in fifth place.

“I really wish I hadn’t spun the car around in turn two,” said Potter. “It was going really well and the car was fast. I was comfortable pushing things a bit to keep the Mazda behind – I guess I just pushed it a little too hard. We had a good weekend and nothing went wrong – other than my spin – and we’re excited to go to Miller for the finale.”

After a completely frustrating weekend in Watkins Glen two weeks ago, when the team was mystified by tire and braking problems throughout the race, leading in Montreal before finishing fifth was a big boost for the drivers and team as they now only have the finale at Miller Motorsports Park in Salt Lake City, Utah, remaining in the 2010 season. Magnus Racing happens to be based in Salt Lake City, and Potter makes his home there, making the Miller race a big one for the team.

“What a great weekend for the team,” said Stanton after the race. “We ran strong and fast and led for a while, and it was great for us to get a good, solid weekend underneath us. The guys did great and it was fun to see John lead a race for the first time. Now we’ve got some momentum on our side and we can finish strong at John’s home race at Miller Motorsports Park next month.”

The final race of the 2010 GRAND-AM Rolex Sports Car Series weekend will be the Utah 250, October 10-11, at Miller Motorsports Park in Salt Lake City, Utah. Potter and Stanton will be aiming to finish Magnus Racing’s inaugural season on a high note, while Potter will team with Leh Keen for the final Continental Tire Sports Car Challenge race in the No. 44 Magnus Racing Porsche Cayman. The Utah 250 will be broadcast live on SPEED on October 11 at 2:00 PM ET.

<p>Now there is a way to rejuveniate that old pair of cheap ugg boots and make them look new again. Superlamb, Inc., a leading independent retailer of UGG boots, has created a new sheepskin cleaning and redyeing service that is a convenient and affordable alternative to purchasing a new pair of ugg sale expensive footwear.

The cleaning process completely eliminates odors and the vast majority of stains from UGG boots. Once cleaned, the boots are then treated with a conditioner, making them silky smooth again and ugg boots clearance shrinking them back down to their original size. Customers can also opt to redye their UGG boots, completing the rejuvenation process. Turn around time is generally less than a week, and customers can have their boots back within two weeks of sending them in.

ugg boots cheap The cleaning and conditioning process works for all types of footwear, including twin-faced sheepskin, suede and leather.

“I am excited and thrilled to be offering this new service for our customers who would like to extend the life uggs on sale of their beloved UGG boots. The opportunity now exists for our customers to refresh their boots and save money at the same time.” said Lindsay Gulliver, CEO of Superlamb, Inc.

The services uggs desired and add any special instructions to the order. Customers will then receive email confirmation of their order, at which time she will send in her boots to Superlamb. ugg outlet An email confirmation of receipt at our warehouse of her boots and a final email confirmation will be sent once the cleaned boots are shipped back to the customer. Return shipping is included cheap uggs for sale in the cost of the cleaning.

The first week of school is usually my favorite time of the semester simply because the students haven't begun dressing like slobs. Most of the girls can be seen wearing cute dresses and the guys are actually ugg boots sale showering.

Then once the semester gets going, students' new school clothes become old, boring school clothes. Generally, this is the time you begin spotting all sorts of disgusting. I'm talking about sweatpants, UGG boots and sleep attire.

Now that most students have finished their midterms and have recovered from a wild Halloween weekend extravaganza, they are beginning to roll out these unfortunate items from their closets.

Call me old-fashioned, ugg boots clearance but I appreciate a well put-together outfit. I value when a person actually makes an effort to look presentable, even if they are obligated to attend only one class that day.</p>

<p>One of the biggest uggs fears of any retailer is having its product wind up as a fad. Heelys, with its wheeled sneakers, and now Crocs, with its iconic rubber shoes, have fallen and had difficulty getting back up. uggs on sale Deckers Outdoor and the company's well-known UGG brand have thus far avoided the "fad" stigma, but I'd hardly call it a safe bet to succeed.

Shareholders, on the other hand, uggs for sale will probably disagree with me, especially after Deckers' phenomenal earnings report last night. Despite being a pessimist, I have to give credit louis vuitton outlet where credit is due, and Deckers does deserve credit for increasing UGG sales by 47%, international sales by 114%, and net income by 49%. Deckers struggled under the added costs of expanding into Europe and opening its own stand-alone locations, but after two years uggs for cheap the fruits of its labor are finally being realized.

"So what isn't to like?" you may be asking. I'd point to the company's overreliance on the UGG ugg sale brand as both its selling point and its crutch. UGG sales accounted for $376.7 million, or 91% of all sales during the third quarter. With its Teva, Sanuk, and Simple brands only accounting for 9% of louis vuitton outlet total remaining sales, there is a ton of implicit risk built into the stock if consumers grow weary of the UGG brand. A myriad of factors including high unemployment levels, sinking consumer confidence, and even changing fashion trends could very easily disrupt the UGG's dominance.

Plenty of ugg wholesalers have made the transition to brick-and-mortar retailers, including one of my favorite examples, True Religion Apparel. But unlike True Religion, which has a diverse product line, ugg sale Deckers will need to be reliant on acquisitions to grow its brand portfolio. Spending heavily on acquisitions to diversify its revenue stream, all while material costs rise, could also hamper the company's ugg boots outlet profit potential.

The company lowered its fourth-quarter view, saying it will incur some expenses that had been budgeted for discount uggs the third quarter. Instead of a 36 percent increase in earnings per share, it expects a 33 percent increase.

Deckers raised revenue expectations for both the fourth quarter and the full year. It implied 2011 revenue of more than $1.3 billion, cheap ugg boots a 33 percent increase.

Net income rose to $62.5 million, or $1.59 per share, compared with $42.1 million, or $1.07 per share, a year earlier.

Revenue jumped 49 percent, to $414.4 million from $277.9 million.

Analysts expected the company to earn $1.36 per share on revenue of $384.8 million.

The Goleta company said international sales more than doubled, led by strength in the United Kingdom and the Benelux nations. U.S. sales rose 26 percent. The company has 37 stores, and revenue at stores open louis vuitton outlet at least a year rose 15.4 percent.</p>
