Trans Am RX7 Finishes in Top 10 Again!!!!!!??
Wow what a great result for the privateer RX7 in the VIR Trans Am Race. Results below;
ALTON, Va. - Results from Sunday’s 28-lap, 91.56-mile Muscle Milk SCCA Trans-Am Series Round Two race at VIRginia International Raceway, with finishing position, starting position in parenthesis, driver, hometown, car, distance behind winner, laps complete and reason out (if any).
1. (22), Klaus Graf, Dornhen, Germany, Jaguar XKR, 28.
2. (1), Tony Ave, Maiden, N.C., Ford Mustang, 28, -.507.
3. (7), Edison Lluch Sr, Lajas, Puerto Rico, Chevrolet Corvette, 28, -7.136.
4. (8), Simon Gregg, Ponte Verda Beach, Fla., Chevrolet Corvette, 28, -8.855.
5. (6), Tomy Drissi, Los Angeles, Calif., Jaguar XKR, 28, -9.172.
6. (9), Amy Ruman(R), Kent, Ohio, Chevrolet Corvette, 28, -15.519.
7. (14), Jerry Kinn, Anchorage, Alaska, Chevrolet Corvette, 28, -31.342.
8. (16), Glen Jung(R), Osteen, Fla., Mazda RX-7, 28, -32.214.
9. (19), Denny Lamers(R), Appleton, Wis., Ford Mustang, 27, -1 lap.
10. (17), Jordan Bupp(R), Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., Chevrolet Corvette, 26, -2 laps.
11. (3), RJ Lopez(R), Bal Harbour, Fla., Chevrolet Corvette, 25, -3 laps.
12. (2), Jim Goughary_Jr, Jupiter, Fla., Chevrolet Corvette, 22, -6 laps.
13. (18), Bob Monette(R), Milton, Ga., Chevrolet Corvette, 18, -10 laps.
14. (4), Michael Skeen(R), Charlotte, N.C., Chevrolet Corvette, 17, -11 laps.
15. (12), Daniel Ramoutarsingh(R, LaRomain Trinidad, , Jaguar XKR, 15, -13 laps.
16. (5), Jorge Diaz Jr, San Juan, Puerto Rico, Jaguar XKR, 13, Crash.
17. (10), Edison Lluch Jr(R), Lajas, Puerto Rico, Chevrolet Corvette, 13, Crash.
18. (11), John Schaller, Fort Myers, Fla., Chevrolet Camaro, 11, Mech.
19. (21), Kent Keller, Rougemont, N.C., Oldsmobile Cutlass, 9, Mech.
20. (15), Kenny Bupp, Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., Chevrolet Camaro, 6, Mech.
21. (13), Richard Grant(R), Germantown, Tenn., Chevrolet Corvette, 0, DNS.
22. (20), Bob Thumel(R), Denver, Colo., Jaguar XKR, 0, DNS.
Time of race: 1 hours, 1 minute, 35.052 seconds.
What is really interesting is that the car was 10 seconds off pole in qualifying and ended up 16th out of 22. They passed a bunch of cars that had mechanicals or crashes and ended up in 8th on the same lap as the leader!!!!! Way to go and it really flys in the face of the general belief in rotary unreliability.
