Steyn Weathers Storm To Win SM at June Sprints

Seven Mazda racers claim wins at Chicago Region annual tradition at Road America.The 2016 WeatherTech Chicago Region SCCA June Sprints at Road America is an annual summer tradition in SCCA Majors competition. Apparently, those in charge of the Wisconsin weather didn't get the "summer" message. Cool temperatures and a mixture of fog, mist and rain – more reminiscent of the coast of Northern California than the coast of Lake Michigan – added to the strategy for the two races run on Saturday.The rain was falling just before the Spec Miata race, and tire selection was immediately evident. The front row of Danny Steyn's No. 39 ADEPT Studios/Rossini/OPM Mazda Miata, and Todd Lamb's No. 84 Atlanta Speedwerks/East Street/AIM Mazda Miata chose rain tires, while Jim Drago's No. 2 East Street Racing Miata and Craig Berry's No. 29 Berry Marble and Granite/East Street Racing Miata were shod with the dry weather Hoosiers. The first time by the stripe, Steyn and Lamb were 10 seconds up on the field, and Drago had fallen to 12th place.
