May 18, 2008 -- Salt Lake City, Utah -- The Lizards continued their podium streak today at the Utah Grand Prix, finishing first and second in GT2. The No. 45 Lizard Porsche of Joerg Bergmeister and Wolf Henzler started from the pole and led the entire 2 hour and 45 minute race to finish first, the duo's second GT2 win of the season. In the No. 46 Lizard Porsche, teammates Johannes van Overbeek and Patrick Pilet pitted during an early caution, and then came back through the field to finish second, their third podium of the season. In the No. 44 Lizard Porsche, Darren Law and Seth Neiman finished sixth out of the 16-car field, staying out of trouble in an incident-filled race that claimed nearly one-third of the starting cars.
