Ricardo Sperafico, one of the twin brothers finished 3rd. His brother lead at the start of the race, but had to retire due to engine problems. Duda Pamplona, 1997 F-Chevrolet Champion is still trying to find his best and finished 5th, despite running for Prop Car, one of the top teams of this series.
