Korf claimed the $600 winner’s purse in the combined Super Pro/Pro bracket and then added another $100 in the Bren and Jerry’s Nice Dream Challenge in which he forced Street winner Philip McClish of Willard, Ohio, into a narrow breakout foul (11.395 seconds against an 11.400 target).
McClish bested Pullman’s Jessica Matthes to win the $300 top prize in Street but Matthes went on to win the second of the Bren and Jerry’s challenge matches against Super Pro/Pro runner-up Ahmad Manawi of Mount Pleasant.
In addition to the on-track competition which was open to all vehicles with a European pedigree, the event included a beautiful car show presented by German Auto Service, LTD, a swap meet and other activities celebrating the European car culture.
