September 20, 2004 – Munroe Falls, OH – The Ruman Racing team wrapped up its regular season with two 2nd place finishes by Amy Ruman on August 21 & 22 at the double national race at Pocono, PA. This locked up a solid 2nd place for Ruman in the Northeast Division points standings for the 2004 season. In ten races, Ruman had seven top five finishes and nine top ten finishes, which included one win and six 2nd places.
Ruman is headed to the famous SCCA National Championship Runoffs at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course for the week of September 20-26. The SCCA Runoffs bring together the top national drivers from across the country to compete for the title of National Champion in their respective car classes. Only those who place in the top-10 in their Division points standings are eligible to compete. Ruman Racing will field the familiar #23 McNichols/Cenweld Chevrolet Corvette in Ruman’s second time at the Runoffs. Last year, Ruman finished 5th in her first ever Runoffs event. This year’s GT-1 race will be Sunday, September 26 at 1:30pm.
“I can’t wait to get this race underway! I feel I am a much-improved driver this year. With continued hard work and the efforts of my excellent team, I believe I have a good chance to secure a spot on the podium and that is our aim,” stated Ruman. “My crew has combed over the car making sure everything checks out, and my crew chief/data man Bob, who happens to be my Dad, has studied our data and has really been working on a killer set-up for me. The field will be tough again, but I am up for the challenge!”
