1st and 3rd at Summit Point!!
Sunday, 03 June 2007 11:54

On June 1st BERG Racing fielded two cars in the SCCA's 12 Hours of Summit Point.

The 69 Miata driven by Richard Picut and John Weisberg started from fifth position while the 96 Miata driven by Dinah DeRoller Richard Watson and Brad Adams Started from 23 position. The 69 car ran well but a bearing failure dropped the team back in the standings after only two hours of racing. Quick pit work from Kevin Dennis, Alex Korzhen and Mark Gregory got the car back on track in record time. The 96 soldiered on with little problem. At six hours into the race the BERG Racing team were running 1st and second with the 69 car out front and ahead of the third place ITS car by 14 laps. 96 didn't have it comfortable and soon had to relinquish 2nd place to the faster BMW in third. The drama didn't stop there as in the tenth hour DeRoller in the 96 came to gether with John Morris driving the Planet Miata effort. Both drivers came out unscathed but the cars weren't as lucky. Planet Miata made a lengthy stop for repairs but DeRoller pushed on and finished her stint.

Weisberg finished in the 69 car to take the win for BERG with Watson finishing up for the 96 crew in third.

We would like to thank sponsors REDCOM, Mazdaspeed, Kumho tires, Watson McDaniel, Underberg and all of the people that worked so hard to get these two cars to the finish line.
