Sonoma Historics Report

Avatar photoVR Staff

The 2016 edition of the Sonoma Historic Motorsports Festival organized by the Sportscar Vintage Racing Association working with Steve Earle’s General Racing, took place on the 2.890-mile road course of Sonoma Raceway last weekend, with nearly 400 vintage racecars taking part, some dating back a full century.

As the SVRA maintains that “finishing positions are not a component of this event,” a number of presentation awards were given out, with top honors going to the two Sonoma Historic Trophy winners, Nathaniel Green for his 1925 Bugatti T35 in the Pre-1940 Category, and Robert Engberg for his 1957 Elva MK IIB in the Post-1940 Category.

A baker’s dozen of Sonoma Historic Awards were also distributed for “Presentation and Performance in Race Group” to:

Group 1 – Brian Blain – 1916 Sturtivant-Auburn Racer

Group 2 – Don Tevini – 1959 Devin D Porsche

Group 3 – Paul Christensen – 1956 Porsche 356A

Group 4 – Karen Barry – 1960 MBC-Huffaker F-Jr.

Group 5 – Linda Mountanos – 1966 Chevrolet Chevelle

Group 6 – Michael Doyle – 1961 Jaguar E-Type

Group 7 – Martin Lauber – 1969 Chevron B16

Group 8 – Ron Horning – 1971 Brabham BT35

Group 9 – Ed Matsuishi – 1965 Porsche 911

Group 10 – Drew Alcazar – 1969 Ford Mustang Boss 302

Group 11 – Emmett Murphy – 1972 McLaren M8F

Group 12 – Steve Walker – 1973 BMW CSL

Group 13 – Chris Liedenberg – 1991 Ford Mustang

However, the action on the track did yield 1st-place finishers in each race group, who are listed below. For complete information, please visit www.svra.com

Group 1 – Paddins Dowling – 1932 ERA R2A

Group 2 – Cameron Healy – 1953 Cooper-Porsche “Pooper”

Group 3 – Paul Quackenbush – 1963 Lotus S7
