Kneedraggers.com Race Team Signs Crew Chief for 2003

The KneeDraggers.com team has retained the services of Chuck Giachetto to be their crew chief and tuner for the 2003 season. Giachetto, based in Dallas, Texas, will be working with Matt Wait, the 2002 Formula USA Grand National Champion, in both the AMA and FUSA series.

“We felt Chuck’s previous experience in road racing would prove invaluable to a new team like ours,” commented KneeDraggers.com’s president Sam Lehrfeld. “Aside from his knowledge about motors and setup, his familiarity with running a team is going to give us a real advantage that we wouldn’t have had without him.”

“First I would like to KneeDraggers.com for the great opportunity to work with a national championship winning team,” said Giachetto. “I am definitely excited to be working with Matt in 2003. I think people will see a real difference in our program. We aim to retain the Grand National Championship and to be a dominant force in 2003 and beyond.”

“I am very happy and excited to have Chuck on the Kneedraggers.com Yamaha team as my mechanic and crew chief. I feel that we will definitely have what it takes to get the job done and retain our championship in 2003,” added Matt Wait.

The team will have their first outting this weekend doing testing in Louisiana.
