More Than a Dozen Feature Race Winners Crowned as 46th HSR Mitty

HSR The Mitty

One of the biggest editions of the Historic Sportscar Racing (HSR) Mitty in the event’s nearly 50-year history came to a competitive conclusion Sunday with more than a dozen HSR Feature Race winners crowned in the final two day’s of competition in the 46th running of HSR’s oldest race at Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta.

Competitors in cars from nearly every generation of sports car racing and other categories from the last 60 years plus made it to victory lane over the course of the three-day blockbuster event that showcased “The Cars of Japan” as this year’s Featured Marque.

One of two competitors doubling up on HSR Feature race wins at the Mitty was Todd Treffert in his 901 Shop 1972 No. 14 Porsche 911. Treffert add the overall and GT Classic (GTC) wins in Sunday’s B.R.M. Endurance Challenge race to his Friday Sasco Sports overall and Porsche-class victories.

The weekend’s other double Feature Race winners were Cory Friedman and his Autometrics team in their 2016 No. 515 Mercedes-AMG GT3 Evo. Friedman won Sunday’s Global GT sprint and co-drove with Shannon Heford to the GT Modern (GTM) win in Saturday’s B.R.M. Endurance Challenge one-hour race.

Friedman and Heford finished a close second overall in Saturday’s B.R.M. Endurance race to overall and Prototype winners Pierce Marshall and Eric Foss. Making their first start of the season in the Matador Motorsports 2017 No. 02 Cadillac DPi, Marshall and Foss secured their second B.R.M. victory in a row after winning the same race at 2023’s season-ending Sebring Historics. The win was also the fourth overall B.R.M. Endurance victory for the Matador duo at Road Atlanta since 2020.

Saturday’s third B.R.M. Endurance race winner was Benjamin Myers who scored Historic-class honors and an impressive seventh overall finish in a packed 47-car field in his Wolf Motorsports 2001 No. 29 Carbir CS2 sports 2000.

The weekend’s final B.R.M. Endurance victor was Craig Watkins who finished just behind Treffert in second overall while securing the Vintage division victory in his 1968 No. 46 Porsche 911 prepared by the 901 Shop.

Following up on Friday’s Sasco Sports International/American Challenge race for bigger classic GT cars, Saturday’s Sasco Sports “B” race was a showcase of small-bore sports cars delivering some big excitement.
