>From Dan Elam:
> Merlin Miller drove his stunning #28 Tiger to an impressive overall win
> this past weekend at the SCCA race at Summit Point. Miller, who qualified
> second, ran the little GT-2 Tiger against the big boys in GT-1 and SPO
> where a Monte Carlo had qualified on the pole. Miller managed to move to
> the lead on the back of the track to lead lap 1, but the lead appeared to
> be short lived as the Monte Carlo's straight speed looked like it would
> pass him into Turn 1. Some spirited late braking left Miller with the
lead
> as the Tiger ran with the Monte Carlo inches from his bumper.
>
> Miller, who collected a win in GT-2 late last year on the same track, was
> doing everything he could to hold off the GT-1 series champion when they
> approached a group of lapped cars. Miller made the move of the weekend as
> he split three cars at the end of the Summit Point straight, giving him
the
> lead and effectively locking the Monte Carlo behind the slower cars. From
> that point, Miller stretched his lead and cruised to impressive win over
> rivals like Corvette, Panoz, and Mustang.
