Mr. Hot Wheels himself, Jack Baldwin was THE Trans-Am and GT racer in his day, one of the most feared and respected sportscar aces throughout the 1980’s and ’90’s. A larger-than-life character, Jack has had a crazy career in and out of the car, from running his own T-shirt company, to street drags, to spearheading one of the most popular sponsorship programs in all of sportscar, Jack is a true living legend. Dinner was served at NOCA in Roswell, Georgia, with music by Anna Volpe. Thanks to Continental Tire for all of their support, and Acura for providing a great car.

We’d say Joe Varde is one of the greatest cheaters in sportscar, but he ain’t never been caught. Currently viewed as the ultimate crew chief / team director in production stock racing, Joe is responsible for about 45 different production car championships, and that came AFTER his reputed career as a factory driver in a number of touring car championships, where he often beat the factory entries. He’s also another one of the sport’s great characters, and revered paddock-wide. Dinner was served at Canvas in Orlando, Florida, with music by Ben Justus.

Continuing the celebration of our sportscar roots, it doesn’t get any better than Ozz Negri. Born to modest means, Ozz’s career was started with the strangest stroke of luck that’s more fit for a Hallmark movie, but he took the opportunity and ran with it… embarking on a 30-year career in which he’s had to fight for every opportunity he had. It paid off though, as a winner of The Rolex 24 at Daytona, Petit Le Mans, and honestly one of the nicest and most liked guys in the sport. Lunch was served at Viva Brazil in Hollywood, Florida, with music by Armen Balyan. Thanks to Continental Tire for all of their support, and Acura for providing a great car.
