\"Historic<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Over 130 cars and more than 200 drivers participated in Historic Sportscar Racing\u2019s inaugural Classic 24 Hour event at Daytona International Raceway this past weekend, November 12-16th.<\/p>\n

More than 130 cars – each set to run four shifts, in rotation over a 24 hour period, comprise six different era\u2019s of sports cars. It is not a continuous race, but rather sports cars from different eras who take their turns via different classes, competing one hour at a time. Each of the six class winners, which are classified from Group A to Group F, will be determined by the number of total laps completed.<\/p>\n

The overall plan was to celebrate auto-racing history. They certainly did that, but along the way, someone MADE HISTORY! Amy Ruman (#23 Red Corvette) became the first woman to claim overall victory in a professional automobile race at Daytona. It was her 5th career win (TransAm Series) and at 40 years young, is a second generation driver out of Ohio (Ruman Racing).<\/p>\n

Winners: Group A – Marc Devis and Christien of Belgium in their \u201865 Lola T70 (#11 Zerex car) 76 Laps<\/p>\n

Group B – Robert Boller and Josh Boller, USA, in a \u201876 Chevron B36 (#119, Red White and Blue car) 75 Laps<\/p>\n

Group C – Tommy Dreelan and Aaron Scott, Great Britan, in a \u201887 Porsche 962 (#14, Leyton House) 81 Laps<\/p>\n

Group D – Paul and John Reisman, USA, \u201802 Lola B2K\/40 (#9, yellow and blue) 81 Laps<\/p>\n

Group E – Doug Smith and Andy Wallace, USA, \u201805 Audi R8 (#38, White ADT car) 88 laps<\/p>\n

Group F – Paul and John Reisman, USA, \u201806 Porsche Boxster 3400 76 laps (not on the registry \u201cA\u201d must have been a late entry but note that they were entered and drove two cars!)<\/p>\n
