  • Porsche Honors Hurley Haywood on 70Th Birthday
    newsroom Company May 4, 2018 Porsche Honors Hurley Haywood On 70th Birthday Porsche congratulates one of its most decorated ambassadors, Hurley Haywood, on a shared anniversary: The five-time Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona winner turns 70 today, just a month before the 70th birthday of the first Porsche sports car. Born in Chicago, Harris Hurley Haywood is the most accomplished American endurance racer of all time. With multiple overall victories at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona and 12 Hours of Sebring, Haywood cemented his winning reputation over four decades of competition. Endurance race victories came in both GT racing cars and Prototypes in a career that spanned from 1969 to 2012, with a brief hiatus for a tour of duty in Vietnam in 1970. His first overall endurance victory came at the 1973 Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona, co-driving with Peter Gregg, then owner of Brumos Porsche. The pair followed with another victory just one month later at the 12 Hours of Sebring. Haywood would ultimately become vice president and co-owner of the Brumos Porsche dealership in Jacksonville, Florida. Haywood won Daytona and Le Mans in the same year Haywood won five times at Daytona, three times at Le Mans and twice at Sebring, while becoming the first driver to win the 24 Hours of Daytona and 24 Hours of Le Mans in the same year (1977). He earned five driver championships in his career: IMSA GT Champion (1971, ’72), SCCA Trans-Am Champion (’88), SuperCar Championship (‘91), and North American GT Endurance Champion (’94).

Dear SCCA Media Partners, Welcome to what is truly a new era of the Sports Car Club of America, as the SCCA National Champi- onship Runoffs heads west for the first time in 46 years to Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca. This event, made possible with the help of our friends and partners at Mazda and the Sports Car Rac- ing Association of the Monterey Peninsula (SCRAMP), was met with questions at its announcement that have been answered in a big way, with more than 530 drivers on the entry list and a rejunvenaton of the west coast program all season long. While we haven’t been west of the Rockies since River- side International Raceway in 1968, it’s hard to believe it will be that long before we return again. The question on everyone’s mind, even more than usual, is who is going to win? Are there hidden gems on the west coast who may be making their first Runoffs appearance that will make a name for themselves on the national stage, or will the traditional contenders learn a new track quickly enough to hold their titles? My guess is that we’ll see some of each.
