After years of Canadian drivers dominating 944 racing in the U.S., especially at Nationals, Van has struck a blow for the U.S drivers when he went to their backyard and took over the points lead in the Canada Chapter.

You da man Van

12:45 - Sunday morning in the rain with a foggy windshield
13:45 - In the rain with G70+ with a clear windshield

I present to you the Holy Grail of 944 racing. This is an original Rothman's Porsche 944 Turbo Cup Challenge trophy won by Scott Goodyear in 1988.

This citing took place at the CHGP. The 944 Holy Grail is currently in the possession of an U.S 944 racer who owns more than one of the Rothman's Turbo Cup cars. For reasons of safe keeping, the owners identity and current location of the 944 Holy Grail is undisclosed.

OMG, that truly is the Holy Grail!

The National Championship trophy (currently in my possession) is a worthy successor, but not quite as priceless!

A rough looking group they are, but a hardy bunch, what was remaining of 28 944 Cup/Super Cup entries from the CHGP, including the Del Bruce (Prez of VARRAC) on the bottom left, Cuppy Daddy ( top middle), and David Deacon, founder of the Rothmans 944 series' ( top right) .

Sunday morning storms, incidents, and mechanical failures took their toll over the 3 days on the track.
