I'm sorry that this thank-you note took so long to come out. On behalf of the Atlanta Region SCCA, we'd like to thank all the MAZDARACERS for coming out and supporting the American Road Race of Champions presented by GrassRoots Motorsports. We had a great 3 days of racing starting with a Pro-IT field of over 40 cars on Friday. Group 4, the Spec Miata's on Saturday have 45 cars and the Luck of the Draw race on Sunday had 30 entries and 25 racers.
We paid out $2500 in prizes on the Luck of the Draw race and the feedback that we received was pretty positive. The results were interesting with Danny Steyn, Cliff Brown, Voytek Burdzy and Mark Drennan finishing 1st through 4th. Mark started last (30) on the grid with Cliff(27), Danny(26) and Voytek(25) starting pretty far back too.
In the drawing for the prize money, Cliff won first prize 45% of the purse and asked that his winnings be donated to John Williams, a long time friend of Atlanta racers that if fighting stage 4 Pancreatic cancer. A class act Cliff, thanks! Other winners were Jonathan Czarny 2nd Prize 25% of the purse, Danny Stein 3rd 15%, Tyson Schwiesow 4th 10% and Robert Roland 5th 5%. Thanks to all that came out and supported this fun race.
We are already planning for next years ARRC. It will be held on October 30, 31 and November 1 & 2. Look for a true championship caliber event with some special events. I can already see a Spook Miata race in the future.
