Mazda Victories Close Out SCCA at TWS

Track's last National-level SCCA competition features more than a dozen Mazda wins

The final SCCA Majors race at Texas World Speedway – the venerable track is scheduled to close at the end of the year – started out sticky before switching to downright wet. The weekend served as Rounds five and six of the Mid-States Conference Majors Tour, with 25-minute sprint races on Saturday and 14 laps of the 15-turn, 2.9-mile road course on Sunday.

As Saturday progressed, weather conditions cooled slightly as scattered showers moved into the College Station area following the lunch break. Many of the race groups ran unaffected, while the last two groups had to deal with increasingly slick conditions produced by the rain showers.

Spec Miata was in the leadoff spot and completed 13 laps with little incident. Alex Bachoura, of Houston, took home a hotly-contested win in his No. 33 Cypress Oral Surgery Mazda Miata over Taylor Ferranti.
