GT2 Results / Story 2011 Runoffs
I got this off the Speed Channel. Sorry no pics but looks like the GT2 rules now favor GT3 Porsche race cars. Maybe they should require ballast next year?
Anyone have pictures? Please!
Jurczyk Dashes To Gumout GT-2 National Championship at SCCA Runoffs
Mark Jurczyk, of Chicago, Ill., withstood a battle from Mark Boden, of Winnetka, Ill., and raced to his first SCCA National Championship during the Gumout GT-2 race on Friday at Road America. Boden recovered from a spin to finish third, behind Tom Patton, of Hamilton, Ohio.
Boden’s No. 45 Fall-Line Motorsports Porsche GT3 Cup raced away from the field from the pole on the opening lap, leading by nearly three seconds the first time past the stripe. By lap five, Jurczyk had cut the lead to less than a second in his No. 21 Players Porsche GT3 Cup.
Jurczyk moved past Boden on the inside of turn five on that lap, and the two ran essentially nose-to-tail until lap 10. In turn one, Jurczyk ran wide and left the door open for Boden to move back into the lead.
The two Porsches were running an almost identical pace, but Jurczyk used the draft going into turn five and moved to the inside. Boden’s defensive line kept Jurczyk from going by in that corner, but the ensuing run moved Jurczyk back into the lead.
With a lap and a half remaining and Boden looking for a way into the lead, the Fall-Line Porsche spun in turn three and into the grass, sending Jurczyk to a 4.621-second margin of victory and his first National Championship. Jurczyk, who started fourth, also earned the Sunoco Hard Charger for improving the most positions in the race.
Jurczyk turned the Hawk Fast Lap of the race in 2:17.732 (104.551 mph) – a new class record at the Runoffs - on his way to the title, leading eight laps and averaging 103.227 mph over the race distance.
Patton battled early with Pete Peterson’s No. 98 Goodyear/Toyota/Valvoline Toyota Celica, moving past Peterson before his day ended with a crash on lap six. Patton moved into second while Boden sat helplessly on the side of the track after his spin and earned his eighth career podium finish. Despite his spin, Boden earned his third consecutive GT-2 podium.
Gary Stewart, of York, Pa., put his No. 92 Apple Motorsports Porsche GT3 Cup in fourth position. Bobby Lentz, of Leesburg, Va., was fifth in the No. 64 FGR Consulting/Goodyear Nissan 300ZX.
