The V8 Series racers will return to action September 4th & 5th at Sebring International Raceway,this will also serve as the opening round
of the series Florida Hurricane Cup. The "Cup" will go to the competitor who garners the most points at the Sebring event and the following
Homestead event on September 18th & 19th. In the stock car "wars", things are heating up for the run to the class championships that will
be decided at the American Road Race of Champions at Road Atlanta Raceway in November. In the V8 GT A class, Kurt Roehrig holds the lead
with 136 points over Tom "Hollywood" Graham and 2009 class Champ Randy Walker, both with 112 points. Graham and Walker as well as
others are within striking distance and could easily disappoint Roehrig. In the V8SPO class, former Nascar Dash Champ Larry Hoopaugh and
Naples, Florida resident Paul Breehne have been waging a war on the track, racing each other hard at every event. Hoopaugh leads in points
129 to 112, but the championship almost assuredly won't be decided until the checker waves at he ARRC. It went down to the wire last, where
Breehne took the ARRC race but was just edged out for the points championship. Breehne's car chief Mike Breault has been trying new
combinations on the Roush Performance Parts Ford Fusion and seems confident that he has something up his sleeve for the always tough
Hoopaugh.
In the GT classes, Dave Machavern has a commanding lead in GT-1, but he has been beaten this year by both Jeff Emery and Charles Wicht.
Wicht has his winged Monte Carlo really flying now with a new Dorton SB2 Chevy mill residing in the engine bay. Wicht took the measure of
Machavern at Road Atlanta, claiming both weekend races.
In V8 GT2, Doug Wilson leads in his BMW M3, which he drives in spectacular sytle. Wilson loves mixing it up with the higher horsepower stock cars
and GT's and uses his BMW's excellent handling and braking to great advantage. The former short track late model stock car racer leads Corvette
Z06 racer Ed lewis and last years class champ Bob Mayer, also in a Corvette in the points.
A big thanks to RaceCar Engineering for helping to sponsor the Sebring Event.
