Trans-Am: Boris Said to Race at Mosport and Maybe More

14 May 1999

Boris Said III will return to Trans-Am action at Mosport Park, driving the No. 7 Hedonism II Ford Mustang Cobra for Bruce Barkelew's RaceWerX team. Said has 31 career Trans-Am starts, including one win (1995, Road America) and 23 top-10 finishes. Said has raced in three Mosport Park Trans-Am events, scoring top-10 finishes each time. Said's most recent Trans-Am race was the 1996 season finale in Reno.

Team owner Barkelew says Said may compete in additional races after Mosport Park, and claims there will be no team orders for either Said or RaceWerX's lead driver, Brian Simo (No. 2 Valvoline Mustang Cobra).

Why put Said back in a car and why at Mosport?

"Can you think of a good reason NOT to let him drive?," said Barkelew. "As for Mosport, Boris is traditionally quick therethis is a track that separates the men from the boys, and Boris is definitely on the Man side of that fence."
