SVRA Barber SpeedTour, Barber Motorsports Park October 17-19, 2025

 Barber Motorsports Park is a picturesque venue, tucked into the Alabama countryside just east of Birmingham, boasting an abundance of wooded surroundings, rolling elevation changes and open views.  Interesting sculptures and statues dot the landscape throughout the facility, such as the “Lady of the Lake,” watching as fans and team trailers roll past, “Charlotte the Spider,” a large metal arachnid taking over the grassy area outside turns 5 and 6, and dozens of other smaller sculptures including (more) spiders, ants, and buffalo.

The track is a winding, 17-turn, 2.38-mile road course, meandering through the landscape like an asphalt river. It hosts a sprawling vintage motorsports museum which is home to (I hear) over 1,800 historic motorcycles and cars going back as early as 1894. The German-made Hildebrand & Wolfmüller is considered the first mass-produced motorcycle, and there is one in the museum!  The collection also includes a group of Lotus racecars with fascinating racing pedigree. 

With such a steep footprint in motorsports history, along with a track that is modern enough to run an Indycar race every year, it is well suited to host an event such as the SVRA Barber SpeedTour. Providing an action-packed weekend for fans and non-stop competition among the wide variety of drivers and classes the SVRA represents.

The weekend lineup at Barber consisted of several classes. Including Trans Am, TA2, International GT, F4 US, Formula Regional America, Ligier Junior Formula Championship, and of course the SVRA classes that we are accustomed to seeing.  Also featured at the event were the Optima’s Ultimate Street Car event for street-legal cars and the Hagerty “Cars & Caffeine” car show, always a fan favorite at the SpeedTour.

SVRA Barber SpeedTour, Day 1

 I arrived in time to catch part of the F4 US and most of the first Group 10/Ginetta Challenge practice sessions from the deck of the main tower building.  I hadn’t anticipated just how much glare I would be facing from that vantage point at that time of the day, but it was significant enough that I didn’t stay.  I made a mental note that it was a great view, but I needed to be shooting later in the day.

Group 10/Ginetta Challenge practice

 With a little over 8 seconds separating the top 14 spots, The Group 10/Ginetta Challenge practice session boasted a diverse collection of racecars, including Chevrolet Corvette, Camaro and Lumina, Maserati, Mercedes-Benz, Ferrari, a pair of Ford T-Birds, a Ford Fusion, and several more Porsche and Ginetta entries.  In all, 26 out of 32 entries posted times during the session.

The pair of Ferrari 488 Challenge EVO machines turned up the heat.  Yousuf Nabi, in his 2017 example, took the top spot, with Radu Muntean just behind him in a 2020 model taking second.  Jeremy Zumwalt took third overall in a Ginetta, only 3 tenths off Muntean’s time.  In fourth was another Ginetta, this one a 2022 G56 GTA driven by Max Waithman who did not have a posted time from the first practice session. The field was reduced to 28 from 32, and the times across the entire field bunched up a bit.

Not having been to this track before, there were a few things to get used to.  One of which was getting around and finding all of the access gates.  I had the use of my car, which meant that I didn’t need to rent a golf cart.  For the next few practice sessions, I found a spot along the backside of the course which gave me an excellent view of the cars coming over a hill and with a nice, wooded backdrop. 

Group 6 8 12 Practice

The Group 6/8/12 practice session followed up with a field of 18 entries. More than the 15 in the first practice, comprising a 54-year span from newest to oldest year models. Youngest were the pair of 2017 Ford Mustangs of Rene Tercilla and Fred Benedict. Oldest was the 1963 Jaguar XKE driven by Scott Holley. 

Tercilla at the wheel of his 2017 Ford Mustang FP350S, posted the quickest time. Followed by Scott Holley in the Jaguar, and rounding out the top 3 was Robert Miller driving a 2009 Ford Mustang Bullitt.  Also represented in the field were Alfa Romeo, Autocraft, BMW, Porsche, Chevrolet and Plymouth.  Overall, a nice selection of American and European muscle and speed.

Formula Regional Americas Championship Qualifying

The Formula Regional Americas Championship qualifying session was next to hit the track. Titus Sherlock held a commanding points lead heading into the weekend and posting the quickest lap time of the second practice of 1:19.711. Half-second improvement over his time in the morning session. Bruno Ribeiro and Brady Golan were nipping just behind him. Nicholas Ambiado followed posting the fourth-quickest time, just four tenths off the pace set by Sherlock.

Before the end of the session, I drove through the tunnel which runs under the track and gives access to the infield section. This area is very useful and convenient to several turns, so I continued to shoot from that general location through the end of the FR Americas session and into the Trans Am practice 1.  The way the track is laid out, I could easily and quickly get from my perch along the straight looking back at turn 11 to the top of a small rise allowing access to turns 16 and 17.  Mid-afternoon the shadows were already stretching across the track. With patches of localized light getting through and making it very interesting to photograph.

F4 US / Ligier Junior Formula Championship

I caught the F4 US / Ligier Junior Formula Championship joint qualifying session  as the sun was slowly getting across, gradually improving the lighting for me.  This spot gave me several good variations on a long, straight-on shot with the museum in the background along with the forest.  Also, there were some hedges along one section of the barrier that were super helpful in adding context to the photos.

IGT Endurance Race

 The IGT endurance race was the last racing action of the day, and the field was looking strong and fast.  Seth Henry and Wyatt Foster finished first in the Lamborghini ahead of William Oliver and Bruno Carneiro in a 2025 Porsche GT3 Cup.  Frank Vitiello joined the top 3 in the #248 2023 Porsche, a car that he also ran in the Group 10 first practice.

SVRA Barber SpeedTour, Day 2

 With all the SVRA practice sessions in the books everyone turned to qualifying on Saturday. I caught the last bit of the TA/GT practice, snapping off just three photos.  Groups 6/8/12 got the early start, and once again Rene Tercilla and Scott Holley continued their claim of the top two spots, with John McCormick and Robert Miller taking third and fourth, respectively.  Maor Primo qualified a strong fifth in his 1967 Alfa Romeo GT Jr with a time just a tenth and change away from McCormick in third. 

Rounding out the top ten were Fred Benedict in the Mustang (6), Ronald Pawley in a 2000 BMW X (7), Steve Yarborough in the #76 1966 Chevrolet Corvette (8), Tom Linton driving a gorgeous and very bright 1974 Porsche IROC RSR (9), and Eric Ritchie in another Corvette, this one a ’67 model (10).  The stage was set for an exciting pair of sprint races.

 TA2 got rolling with a practice session, and I had a good view from turn 12 looking back down toward turn 11, this time from the outside (driver’s left).  I also had a view of the outbound section of track leaving turn 6 as it visually lined up with the section closer to me.

Ginetta qualifying

 Group 10/Ginetta qualifying followed, with William Oliver in his Porsche GT3 Cup besting Max Waithman in the 2022 Ginetta G56 GTA, to take position 1.  Waithman’s time was 3 tenths and a smidge behind Oliver, followed closely by Jeremy Zumwalt in third, with just about one second separating the three of them. 

Jake Latham, 2016 Maserati MC GT4, and David Lecko, 2025 Ginetta G56 GTA, improved from practice 2 and rounded out the top of the grid with fourth and fifth respectively.  Seth Henry had not been scored in Practice 1 or 2, but secured a sixth place qualifying position in his 2024 Ginetta G56 GTA, a half-second or so behind Lecko.  With the final group of 25 set to take the green flag, everyone was ready to bring it on race day.

SVRA qualifying Groups 1/2/3/4/5

 The SVRA qualifying sessions finished with Groups 1/2/3/4/5.  Efren Ormaza once again posted a session best time, securing the pole position, with James Stiehr, John Nash, Delanie Calhoun, and Dave Asher in the Crosslé filling out the top five grid spots.

 By mid-morning, all the grids were filled, setting the tone for the afternoon when the sprint races began.  The track was getting warmer in the afternoon, after a mostly partly-cloudy morning. 

Both FR Americas and the IGT had their first races, although I spent that time driving around the course in search of other vantage points.  I can say that one side of the track is more accessible than the other, and even though I had my car available to get me to and from different locations, I still had to walk considerable distances to get where I needed to be. 

Sprint Race Groups 6/8/12

By the time the TA/GT qualifying session started, I had found my way to the outside of turns 1 and 2.  I also found more glare.  This area was a bit tricky because of that and because of my limited mobility and lack of walk-through gates.  During that session I continued to drift along the fenceline toward turns 3 and 4, and continued through the first sprint race for Groups 6/8/12.

 From the drop of the green flag, Rene Tercilla in the Mustang and Scott Holley in the Jaguar put some distance between themselves and the rest of the field.  John McCormick in the Autocraft Cobra Mk IV, and Maor Primo in his1967 Alfa Romeo GT Jr, held positions in front of the pack as they negotiated the first laps.  Fred Benedict and Robert Miller joined the fight in early laps vying for the fourth and fifth spots. 

Mid-way through the race, as Tercilla and Holley continued to dominate the session, Primo and McCormick swapped positions more than once.  Benedict and Miller were battling for fifth and sixth while Brian Himes, 1989 Ford Mustang, was on approach to challenge. At the flag it was Rene Tercilla in first, winning the overall and 12aMP4, Scott Holley taking down second overall/first in 6BP, and Maor Primo finishing in third overall/first in 8BS.  Fred Benedict and Robert Miller were fourth and fifth overall, second and third in 12aMP4.

Sprint Race F4 US Championship

 Next on the schedule was the first sprint race for F4 US.  I continued to walk further down trackside until I made it to the turn 4 track marshall kiosk, where the photography access stopped due to a lack of retaining barrier.  Still, it was a nice place to catch fast cars.  The afternoon was getting quite hot for me, and having forgotten my head cover in the car, my time was limited. 

I was shooting for one of the F4 teams and so was trying to get a variety of different looks.  In this area the corner and barrier up-track from me made a splendid backdrop and offered up a lot of context.  Alex Popow led the field to the checkered, followed by Kekai Hauanio in the #29 and Clemente Huerta third on the podium.  Zach Fourie finished fourth in the Kiwi Motorsports entry, and Augusto Paschetta driving for Scuderia Buell took fifth.

 On the turn 1 end, there is a parking area which is north of the track.  From there the landscape slopes downhill toward the fenceline.  There is a gate for photographers, but I only found it later, after parking in the paddock and walking around from there.  Coming back out I found the gate and was able to scramble back up the hill, catch a tram and take a ride circling the entire facility (traffic is clock-wise only), stopping in the paddock just steps away from my car.  To quote a line from Apollo 13, “Gentlemen, this is how we do that.”

TA2 Qualifying

TA2 knocked out their qualifying session, with Tristan McKee in the Spire Gainbridge SLR/M1/Chevrolet Camaro taking the pole and Thomas Annunziata putting the Nitro Motorsports Toyota Camry in second.  I didn’t snap any pics this round because I decided to go back to the car and cool off after that long walk in the heat. 

Group 10/Ginetta Challenge sprint race

I drove back to the tunnel again to catch the start of the Group 10/Ginetta Challenge sprint race, the first of four races outlining the remainder of the day’s schedule. Jake Latham, in a 2016 Maserati MC GT4, was set to lead the split-start Group 10 field to the line but was outmaneuvered heading into the first corner by Richard Wolsifer in his 2014 Howe TA2 Camaro.  Steven Thomas, 2020 Porsche Cayman Clubsport, quickly made his way into third and began to set his sights ahead to Latham and Wolsifer. 

Once the first bunch were through, the second split group consisting of the Ginetta Challenge took the green as Jeremy Zumwalt dove ahead of Max Waithman into the first turn.  David Lecko held on to third position despite the initial lap pressure supplied by Seth Henry just behind him. 

Group 10 Stock Cars

The Group 10 Stock Cars were lined up in a third split-start with Terry Mathis, in the red #3 2006 Chevrolet Cup Car, leading Ryan Thomson in his 1990 Chevrolet Lumina, followed closely by Carlus Gann in the #9 1988 Ford Thunderbird.  Going into the first turn of the second lap, Steven Thomas bolted ahead of both Jake Latham and Richard Wolsifer, catapulting himself into the lead. 

After a mid-race caution, Ryan Thomson in the “Cole Trickle” 10SCE stock car passed Terry Mathis in his “Dale Earnhardt” 10SCB car to take the lead in the stocks just as Richard Wolsifer tested the grass while running in third, resulting in a second caution.  The separate split-start groups were beginning to blend into one homogenous group, On the restart Thomson denied an attack by Mathis in the stock cars, Zumwalt held the lead in the Ginetta Challenge until Waithman took it a lap later, and Thomas maintained the lead in Group 10 overall. 

At the line it was Steven Thomas taking the overall Group 10 win and Jake Latham in second, followed by Jeremy Zumwalt taking third overall/first in Ginetta Challenge. Max Waithman held on to fourth overall/second in Ginetta Challenge, and Seth Henry rounded out the top five in the overall standings along with a third place finish in the Ginetta Challenge.  Terry Mathis edged out Ryan Thomson in the 10SC stock cars with a ninth overall finish to Thomson’s eleventh.

Ligier JFC Race

 Ligier JFC was up next.  On the starting grid were Drew Szuch in the #28 on pole, Cash Felber in the #11 starting second, and Gaston Irazu in the #42 sitting in third starting position.  By the time the field got around to turn 13 on the first lap, Beckham Jacir had already taken third spot away from Irazu and was making a move for second.  Szuch finished tenth due to a penalty, allowing Cash Felber to take the win.  His identical twin brother, Roman, took third behind Pablo Benites in the Scuderia Buell #44.

Groups 1/2/3/4/5 Sprint Race 1

 After the Ligier JFC race the SVRA was back on track, this time with Groups 1/2/3/4/5 Sprint Race 1.  A 16-entry lineup, almost half of which hailed from Group 3, set out to compete in their first race of the event.  Efren Ormaza powered into the first corner, leading James Stiehr with John Nash in the Lotus, Delanie Calhoun in the Miata, and Dave Asher in the Crosslé not far behind.  Steve Yarborough, this time in the 1959 Devin 295, got around Calhoun and quickly caught up with Asher, mixing it up with him for a while as Stiehr passed Ormaza for the overall lead about mid-race. 

Going on behind all of that up-front action, other battles were taking place; one in Group 3 for the second, third and fourth spots between Calhoun in the Miata (3SM), Bryan Scheible, 2017 Volkswagen Beetle (3NC), and David Bearden, 1967 Alfa Romeo Duetto Spider (3EP), and the other in Group 1 with Mark Craig, 1972 Triumph Spitfire, leading Christopher Gore, 1968 Austin Healey Sprite, Jackson Williams, 1963 Austin Healey Sprite, and Roger Williams, 1962 Austin Healey Sprite, in the 1FP class.  Also in the mix was Stephen Heitzke, 1964 MG Midget in the 1GT class, and Dennis Kramer, 1995 Mazda Miata, in the 3SM class.  

There were two other entries that I remembered seeing in practice, but I did not see them on track for this race.  One was the 1966 Chevrolet Corvair of Chris Hand, and the other a 1960 Chevrolet Corvair driven by Michael LeVeque.  As the laps unfolded, Stiehr and Ormaza pulled away, maintaining that running order to the end.  John Nash crossed the line a bit ahead of the Yarborough and Asher duo taking third, fourth and fifth.

IGT Sprint Race 2

The second IGT sprint race was the last competition of the day, save for the Optima crowd, and I stuck around for a few minutes to catch it. The #44 Lamborghini was slated to be in front but when they came around Frank Vitiello was lined up behind the pace car. I think Wyatt likes to have a bit of a challenge and get some passing laps in just to make it interesting. Marc Julien in the #87 and John Boyette in the #11A were lined up behind him, and at the drop Foster took the inside line along with several spots on track.

The Ferrari of Yousef Nabi was also in the mix but had to back out of it losing several positions in the process. William Oliver found his way into third early, with Richard Grant in the #30 just behind him. And in his mirrors was Foster, having taken all but the top 4 spots in the first lap. By the end of lap 2, only Vitiello was in front of him. Foster and Vitiello finished 1-2 as the points battle continued behind them, with William Oliver, Marc Julien and Cliff Cayer rounding out the top 5 overall and the top 3 in the points.

SVRA Barber SpeedTour, Day 3

Sunday morning was a rain-soaked affair at Barber Motorsports Park. First out of the gate was the Ligier JFC second race of two. I took up residence in the same area I had been shooting from the days before, that of the infield accessible only by the tunnel running under the track between turns 13 and 14. This was a comfortable place, convenient with the car, and I was able to get everything I needed just by moving up or down trackside.

For the Ligier race I began shooting the long straight as they came out of the turn 10/11 chicane and accelerated up into 12. I knew that if there was any rain still on the track this would be the place to catch it. This time Beckham Jacir secured the win, followed closely by Cash Felber and Gaston Irazu.  It hadn’t taken long to scrub off most of that loose water.  The track and grounds were still quite damp, but after this race the “rooster tails” were finished. What little there was left was trapped in the rumble strips.

Optima’s Search for the Ultimate Street Car

One of the extra attractions found at most SVRA SpeedTour events is the “Optima’s Search for the Ultimate Street Car” session. Showcasing cars that have been timed and scored to participate in the on-track display. First, the entries are put through a timed event. This is a technical course designed to test the cars overall handling and the driver’s control.  Next, they turn a lap on a high-speed road course for evaluation of performance at higher speeds. Third they go through a speed stop challenge. The driver put the cars through the paces of acceleration, braking and performance within the confines of a defined area. 

I have seen this arrangement laid out at different tracks. Usually its held in the car park however, Barber has a separate facility near the track for this kind of thing. Having a proving ground closed course that works perfect for this kind of event. Next the car is examined for its construction and the quality of modifications done to the vehicle.  All cars must be functionally street-legal and have working features such as wipers, lights, etc.

Trans Am TA/GT Race

Once the Optima event was concluded, the Trans Am TA/GT field hit the tarmac. This was the main event race for the class, ready to roll on a track was still a bit damp with lingering overcast and gloomy skies. The air was about to be substantially disturbed, as they came down into the turn 12 area after the green flag dropped and roared past, led by Chris Dyson in the #16 Gym Weed Ford Mustang and Paul Menard just behind him in the  #3 Pittsburgh Paints/Menard’s Ford Mustang. 

These are machines with 850 horsepower engines. Capable of screaming down a straightaway at close to 175 mph and taking the turns on a dime. Adam Andretti took the win in the #17 Top Liner Chevrolet Camaro. Paul Menard maintaining the second spot for a podium finish.  Eric Foss took the third spot overall / first in SGT in the #54 South Dallas Turf Chevrolet Corvette. I remember someone last year saying these SGT cars were going to give the TA drivers a run for their money. Looks like they were right…

F4 US Championship

Four and a half hours of racing remained. The first group out after lunch was the F4 US Championship in its last race of the year. I was lined up at the marshall kiosk between turns 14 and 15. Here I was catching them come off the turn 14 climb. I was definitely fighting the sun, but for the most part I had enough content from the other side so I made the best of it. I did slide up and down the fenceline to try and optimize my position, but in the end there was no one spot that was any better than the rest, so I stayed close to the corner marshall. Alex Popow took the win. Kekai Hauanio and Zach Fourie filled out the 2^nd and 3^rd podium finishes. 

International GT

Following the F4 US race came the International GT third and final race. I retreated back to the car, which was parked just inside the tunnel on a concrete pad. The view was the same as the other days, and I was really just filling out camera cards at this point. Still, there’s always the insurance of capturing as many shots as possible to ensure that every car is sharp in at least one or two. 

The track was dry by this point, but there were still small puddles of water in the rumble strips that would spray up now and again when any cars got into that area. The duo of Wyatt Foster/Seth Henry continued to show us why the Lamborghini Super Trofeo is a very capable racing machine, not just a pretty car in the paddock. 

Crossing the line first, his quickest time was 1:25.875, about 1.5 seconds ahead of second (Frank Vitiello), both in the EXH “Exhibition” class. Starting at the back of the grid, Foster made quick work of the field on the opening laps. In the competitive class it was the Ferrari F488 driven by Dario Capitanio just behind the two front-running EXH class cars. Behind him was William Oliver in the top finishing GT4.R class Porsche.  Fifth overall / third in points was Marc Julien, and Cliff Cayer in the skeleton / Halloween livery brought it home in sixth overall / fourth in points.

FR Americas series

After IGT, FR Americas series was on track to log their second race of the weekend. As the cars launched from a standing start, I was making my way into the paddock to track down some drivers and get a few shots before the end. I stopped in to see Seth Henry who had just finished the IGT race, as well as Steve Yarborough and Dave Asher, which has become a regular visit for me. 

I can never get enough of the trio of vintage cars in that trailer. The Scuderia Buell team was another I wanted to visit. I had been hoping to grab some shots of the #27 from that vantage point inside turn 14 but unfortunately there was a problem with the car so Augusto Paschetta was unable to finish the race. After walking around I headed back to the tunnel, this time opting to finish things out from the inside of turn 16 and 17A. 

I had the sun at my back, and some late afternoon shadows beginning to creep across the track so things were beginning to work for me. On track, Titus Sherlock in the #31 bested Brady Golan in the final corner for the win in an almost-repeat of the previous race’s finish. Third on the podium went to Nicolas Ambiado, who actually had a slightly quicker best lap than Sherlock but finished a few seconds back.

Trans-Am 2 Race

TA2 began their final race of the year, and this was probably the closest I have been to them since Sebring when I was shooting inside turn 15 at that track.  They are loud, fast and fun to watch.  It was difficult to get group shots in this spot so I concentrated on single-car pans for TA2.  I used the Armco barrier and the shadows as foreground props just to add some interest to the photos.  Tristan McKee qualified first and finished first in the #28 Spire Gainbridge SLR/M1/Chevrolet Camaro.  Not only was this a race win, but a series championship, and on top of that, with this win Tristan became the youngest ever TA2 champion.  Noah Harmon took the second spot, up from his fifth place qualifying position.  Third on the podium was Sam Corry who qualified ninth. 

SVRA Group 10/Ginetta Challenge Sprint Race 2

 The final sprint races for each SVRA class were run consecutively at the end of the day’s schedule.  Things kicked off with the Group 10/Ginetta Challenge Sprint Race 2.  I do not have a play-by-play for the action on this one, but I did catch quite a few laps from my perch inside turn 16 as the field came down toward the starting line. 

Steven Thomas, 2020 Porsche Cayman Clubsport, was first in my viewfinder, and stayed out front all race to take the checkered flag. Behind him was Max Waithman, taking second overall and first in the Ginetta Challenge having at some point passed both Seth Henry  and Jeremy Zumwalt. Henry took third overall and second in the Ginetta Challenge while Zumwalt held on to fourth overall/third in the Ginetta Challenge.  David Lecko was lined up door-to-door with Max Waithman on the start and finished the race in fifth overall. 

GT4 class

Wes Humphryes, in a 2017 Mercedes-Benz GT4, took second in the 10GT4 class behind Thomas. Separated only by the top five Ginettas in the overall results. For the stocks cars, Ryan Thomson in the Chevrolet Lumina crossed the line ahead of Carlos Gann in his 1988 Ford Thunderbird as well as Fred Sheppard in the Fusion.  Steve Beck rounded out the stock cars in another Thunderbird, this one a 1995. Steve Leidholdt was running right along with them in a 2021 Chevrolet Camaro, securing third spot in the Group 10GT4 class.

SVRA Groups 1/2/3/4/5 Sprint Race 2

Next up was Groups 1/2/3/4/5. Once again John Stiehl had designs on putting his 1969 Winklemann WDF-1 into the lead early, this time in the first turn ahead of Efren Ormaza in the 1995 SRF. As with the first sprint race, the front group began to shape up with John Nash settling in behind the SRF in his silver 1962 Lotus Super Seven. Followed closely by Steve Yarborough driving his 1959 Devin. Dave Asher was at the helm of the “other” Yarborough car, the 1977 Crosslé 32F. 

Delanie Calhoun was right there with them in his Davey Allison tribute 1990 Miata. Calhoun held a bit of a gap between him and the rest of the field in the early going. Michael LeVeque got his 1960 Chevrolet Corvair prepared for the final race and was leading the midfield pack for a time. The 1964 MG Midget of Stephen Heitzke, and the trio of Austin Healey Sprites driven by Christopher Gore (1968), Jackson Williams (1963) and Roger Williams (1962), formed a pack and put on some fine racing from start to the finish which was shortened by a late caution.

SVRA Groups Groups 6/8/12 Sprint Race 2

Final race of the event was the second SVRA sprint race for Groups 6/8/12. This finished out the weekend with a big-bore bang.  One, two, three through the first corner were Rene Tercilla, Maor Primo and John McCormick. Eric Ritchey had a wild lap trying to pass the Cobra, taking his 1967 Chevrolet Corvette on a tour of the sidelines at one point but was able to stay with it and maintain his composure. 

Ronald Pawley was just behind him, in the 2000 BMW X. Steve Yarborough piloting his 1966 Corvette, was having a go of it. With the BMW leading the way in the early laps. At some point Yarborough decided to get around him to try and set up a Corvette challenge with Ritchie running ahead of him. This never quite materialized but still provided some great racing action with Pawley in the BMW. 

Tercilla led flag-to-flag and was first overall/first in Group 12aMP4. Primo took his Alfa Romeo to second overall/first in Group 8BS.  Third across the line was John McCormick in the Cobra, taking first in Group 6GT. The other two Group 6 entries were right behind him. Eric Ritchie and Steve Yarborough sporting their ’67 and ’66 Corvettes.  A good race and a great way to end a fine weekend that had a little something for everyone.
