Buttonwillow Raceway
Buttonwillow, California
Seventy five year old (soon to be 76) Stan Goldstein, drove his March/Tracer/Mazda to the C Sport Racer victory in the Sports Car Club of America Double Regional event this past Sunday. Goldstein returned to capture the title after a 23 year absence from the sport. According to Goldstein the race car is essentially the same car he drove to 5 Road Racing Championships in the 80′, but now fitted with a MAZDA Renisis engine. The hotly contested race between the reining class Champion, Mike Alfred and the Stanman came to an abrupt end when Alfred crashed and Goldstein went on the claim the race win. At the awards ceremony the announcer said “Goldstein is back”. Stanman went on to acknowledge his return to the winners circle by thanking the other competitors for welcoming the Geezer back to Cal Club after such a long hiatis and agreed to a heads up shoot-out with Alfred at the May race.
