TORONTO - MOTOROLA CUP

Fifty-two cars follow the No. 37 Corvette driven by Paolo Dal Cin and John Heinricy into turn one. Immediately behind them are the No. 22 Corvette of Mike Fitzgerald and Michael Culver and the Dodge Viper of David Amick and Joe Varde.

The Team Hurricane Audi S4 qualified tenth in the Grand Sport category and forty-forth overall. But drivers John Bourassa and Lance Stewart had an excellent race and were able to move through the field. They finished ninth overall and third in class.

Qualifying second in the Sport Touring class was Mike Van Sicklen and Bob Endicott. Unfortunately, the Acura Integra Type R only completed seven laps before retiring.

The No. 69 HART Honda Civc Si qualified second in the C2K and follows the No. 41 Acura Integra GSR of the Nonnamaker brothers. Peter Halsmer and Bryan Johnson in the HART Civic would finish second in class but the brothers would break a wheel and finish well down the order.

Californians Rudy Courtade and Bryant Kreadan started twenty-ninth overall and eleventh in the Super Grand Sport category. They were able to move their Porsche 993 Super through the field and up to an eighth place finish in class.

The No. 44 TF Racing Saleen SR captured the final position on the Super Grand Sport podium. The car was driven by Terry Borcheller and Michael DeFontes. They did not record a qualifying time and had to start at the back of the grid, which made their finishing position quite remarkable.

The No. 19 Porsche 911 Turbo driven by Richard Spenard and Jean-Francois Dumoulin was the fastest qualifier at Toronto. However, they had to start from the back of the grid after their times were excluded for "On Track Conduct". That didn't deter the pair as they carved their way through the field to capture the win.

Second overall and in the Super Grand Sport class was Mike Fitzgerald and Michael Culver. This pattern continued throughout the 2000 season. Fitzgerald and Culver often found themselves "the bridesmaid but never the bride".
