TOPEKA, Kan. (August 11, 2011) – Eighteen Sports Car Club of America (SCCA) racers in six different categories have earned prizes after the inaugural season of the BFGoodrich® Tires SCCA® Super Tour, with the top point scorer of each category entered into a grand prize drawing for a Baja-style adventure courtesy of BFGoodrich® Tires. On behalf of the BFGoodrich Tires Super Tour, the SCCA offered cash prizes for the top three point scorers in six individual categories of National class racing. The top two point-scoring drivers in each of the six categories will receive $500, with the third-ranking driver awarded $200. Points for the Super Tour prizes are based on the SCCA SafeRacer National Series point structure, including bonus points.
