MOSPORT - MOTOROLA CUP

The No. 50 Team Amick Motorsports Dodge Viper driven by Joe Varde and David Amick finished third overall and in the Super Grand Sport category. The team led the middle section of the race until the NewTech Porsche passed them on lap 72 of 109.

Marc Bunting, Chuck Goldborough and Terry Borcheller were scheduled to share the No. 9 Lexus GS400. Regrettably, Borcheller completed only 55-laps before retiring with mechanical problems.

The father and son team of Sam and Brett Shanaman could only qualify their Pontiac Firebird eleventh in the Grand Sport category. During the race they moved up to third in class only one lap behind the Grand Sport victor.

John Kohler and David Brown qualified second in the Grand Sport class. On the first lap they passed Stu Hayner in the pole sitting Grand Sport Pontiac Firebird and never looked back. The Ford Cobra R drivers led flag to flag and finished a lap in front of the second place Grand Sport car.

The HART Honda Civic Sis qualified second (00) and sixth (69) in the C2K category. John Schmitt and Peter Cunningham shared the No. 00 car and won the class. Number 69 finished third in C2K and was driven by Pete Halsmer and Bryan Johnson.

The Team Spartansburg Racing BMW Z3 Coupe finished third in the Sport Touring category. Ray Shaffer and Jeff Trask drove the car.

Jean-Francois and Richard Spenard overcame a stop-and-go penalty to win the Super Grand Sport class by less than a second. The NewTech team was penalized twenty-seconds for having too many men over the wall. Apparently, a member of a TV crew was mistaken for one of the team members.

Canadian racing veterans Gord Cullen and Didier Schraenen shared the No. 8 Hyundai Tiburon. They qualified third in C2K and finished second in class one lap behind the winning HART Honda.
