In the Ladies Challenge, Ladies 2 winner Diane Johnson, of Glen Allen, Va., prevailed in her Evolution Performance Driving Schools Corvette Z06 in the final round against Ladies 1 winner Karen Kraus, of Harmans, Md., in a Subaru WRX. Before the final, Johnson's husband and Setup TV star, Mike Johnson, got everyone on the grid laughing when he told his wife, "If you don't pass , you're going home!" Scott Hoffman, of Richmond, Va., who won the Hawk Super Challenge at the 2006 D.C. ProSolo, won the $500 ChaseCam gift certificate in the ChaseCam Bonus Challenge driving an H Stock Maniacal Motorsports Acura RSX.

The closest class competition came in Super Stock, where less than a tenth of a second separated first and third place. Matthew Braun, of Northville, Mich., picked up nearly a second in his PowerPlug Lotus Elise on the final two runs to leap frog into first place, just 0.010-second ahead of Pat Salerno, from New Milford, Conn., also in an Elise. Salerno's co-driver, Brian Connors, of Philadelphia, Pa., was just 0.079-second behind in third place. D Stock had 18 competitors and was one of the most diverse.

In addition to Feinburg's Acura, trophies went to a BMW 135, Volkswagen R32, Eagle Talon and two Chrysler Crossfires. In F Stock, Sam Strano, of Knoxdale, Pa., found himself in an unfamiliar position after Saturday €“ second place and trailing the Autocrossers Inc. Ford Mustang Cobra of Lee Piccione, from Severn, Md. But Strano put it together on Sunday in the Strano Performance Parts/Capital Quest Mustang, and moved ahead of Piccione to take the top spot in class. A Stock had the biggest turnout of the weekend with 24 competitors. Even without the help of Mother Nature, Jonathan Roberts, of Richmond Hill, Ga., showed the beauty of all-wheel drive, as he took the top spot in Donnie Barnes' 2005 Subaru WRX Sti. In E Street Prepared, Brian Burdette, of Sykesville, Md., was at the top of the timesheets the whole weekend in a HorsepowerCarStorage.com Chevrolet Mustang and won the class by a comfortable 0.444-second. Lynne Rothney-Kozlak, of Litchfield, Maine, whose A Stock Porsche broke an axle on Friday, hopped into a familiar car, an IROC Camaro, to run ESP.
