TOOELE, Utah — Tommy Archer may have changed teams from 2007 to 2008, but the result at Miller Motorsports Park Sunday was just like old times — a victory in the SCCA Pro Racing Speed Worth Challenge GT.
Brandon Davis and Andy Pilgrim completed the podium.
Archer started his No. 13 Foametix/Woodhouse Performance Dodge Viper from the pole and led from the start. Second-starting Ritch Marziale applied early pressure in his No. 56 All-Cut Concrete Dodge Viper, but succumbed to power steering problems just past the halfway point of the 22-lap, 67.056-mile event.
From there, Archer avoided lapped cars spinning in front of him to keep Davis’s No. 10 ACS Sun Microsystems Ford Mustang at bay and score a 1.148-second win, averaging 93.284 mph.
It was the first win for the Woodhouse Performance team.
“It’s a small team, and its nice for Bob [Woodhouse] and his team that has worked so hard for so many years to get a win for them,” Archer said.
The finish:
Tommy Archer, Brandon Davis, Andy Pilgrim, Randy Pobst, Cindi Lux, Jeff Courtney, Dino Crescentini, Jason Daskalos, James Sofronas, Michael McCann, Stu Frederick, Tony Gaples, Tim McKenzie, Michael Galati, Jason Foster, Robb Holand, Eric Olberz, Gunter Schaldach, Robert Foster, Phillip Martien, Nick Parker, John Bourassa, Joey Scarallo, Wesley Hoaglund, Ritch Marziale, Mike Dvis, Vesko Kozarov, Sonny Whelen, Jeff Altenburg, Eric Curran, Loren Beggs.
