Our Congratulations to Driver Mark Carpenter and Team GGS Racing, on
winning their National Championship in F Production Class at the 2009
SCCA National Championships held at the Road America raceway in Elkhart
Lake, Wisconsin!
Mark Carpenter, of
Charlotte, N.C., came from sixth on the grid to take his first F
Production National Championship at the 2009 SCCA National Championship
Runoffs. Defending FP Champion Rick Harris, of Derby, Kan., and Eric
Prill, of Topeka, Kan., completed the podium at Road America.
Starting sixth, Carpenter took advantage of a wild opening lap,
advancing all the way to second as cars bumped and battled around him.
Swapping positions numerous times with then-leader David Bryson, of
Clemmons, N.C., Carpenter also had to hold off charges from Harris and
Prill.
While leading on lap four, Carpenter ran wide in Turn 14, rejoining the
lead pack in fourth and handing the lead back to Bryson. Carpenter made
is way back to the lead by lap seven and when Bryson's car slowed to a
stop with three laps remaining in the 13-lap 52-mile race, the FP title
was Carpenter's for the taking.
