Congratulations to Richard and Yvonne Miglori and Team PDG on their big podium finish during their first endurance race of the 2016 season!  The team ran the NASA Endurance Racing season opener with Carl Rydquist behind the wheel.  Carl helped Team PDG take the pole in the #4 Factory Five GTM during Friday’s qualifying session, and then drove the GTM to an overall win in the 3-hour long endurance race in a field of 20 cars.
