MOSPORT - WORLD CHALLENGE TOURING


TC Kline did not have his BMW 328ci’s completed for the opening round at Charlotte but by Mosport there were cars for Neil Sapp, Mike Fitzgerald and Shauna Marinus. Sapp qualified the No. 2 car in fourth and moved up to second by the seventh lap which is where he would finish.

Taz Harvey started fifth in his Acura Integra Type R. Harvey found himself in the thick of the battle for the entire race and took the final position on the podium. His efforts netted him the Borla Performance Award for the best drive of the race.

Ken Dobson had to be the big surprise of the weekend. Dobson moved his Pontiac Sunfire GT from the very last position on the starting grid, thirty-ninth, to an eighth place finish. In the process he set the fast lap of the race.

It was another great race weekend for Pierre Kleinubing as he began the season two-for-two. Kleinubing started from the pole and never looked back. The RealTime Acura Integra Type R was 8.251 seconds clear of second place Neil Sapp at the checker.

Drew Hagestad, son of legendary Porsche racer Bob Hagestad, drove this VW Jetta. The car appeared at round one in Charlotte with the senior Hagestad behind the wheel, unfortunately, it “DNFed”. At Mosport the car faired better as Drew started twenty-fifth and finished eighteenth.
