FARMINGTON, N.M. (July 1, 2013) – Greg McCance, of Ramona, Calif., took home a victory in last weekend’s Tire Rack SCCA ProSolo® Super Challenge at McGee Park, in Farmington, N.M. Meredith Brown, of Los Alamos, N.M., also took home first-place hardware, winning the event’s Ladies Challenge.
McCance (E Street Prepared, Subaru WRX Sonic) advanced to the 32-car final bracket after navigating his car to the quickest qualifying time in the E Street Prepared class by a 1.36-second gap.
The weather on Saturday reached a high of 99 degrees under partly cloudy skies, while Sunday’s conditions were slightly better, with a high of 97 degrees and a strong wind from the east at 30 mph.
En route to the final eight, McCance succeeded in taking down this year’s El Toro ProSolo third-place finisher Morgan Trotter (Street Touring Compact, C2 Motorsports/TheRacersStore.com Honda Civic Si) in the first round. In round two, Jacob Dawson (Street Touring R, HVT/Firestone/HMBWTS Honda S2000) succumbed to McCance.
McCance continued to roll through the competition, taking the quarterfinal win over three-time Solo National champion Barbara LeRoy-Boehme (Road Tire 2WD, C2 Motorsports Mini Cooper).
In the semi-finals, McCance matched up against Gerry Terranova (Street Touring Sport, Texas Track Works/Motion Control Honda CRX Si) and took the win, earning his spot in the final.
Bob Endicott (Street Touring R, King Motorsports Honda S2000) was the finalist from the other side of the bracket. Endicott’s ticket to the finals was punched following a semi-final victory over class-competitor Rob Rockefeller (Street Touring R, Random1Racing.com Honda S2000).
In the final heads-up round, McCance downed Endicott for the win. Terranova took home bronze, scoring the third-place runoff win over Rockefeller.
