Mid America Motorworks' MY Garage Museum & Retail Store
1987 Escort Series Race Car
Mid America-sponsored Corvettes race for the checkered flag.
This SS (Showroom Stock) PRO Racing class ran 4, 6, 12, and 4-24 hour endurance races at Sears Point, Portland, Brainerd, Mosport, Road Atlanta, Mid-Ohio and Sebring tracks.
This was Mid America Corvette Supplies’ (Mid America Motorworks) first venture into SCCA PRO Racing. We partnered with Bakeracing in Corvette #4 and #5.Between Corvette #5 and its running mate #4, six of the seven victories were won by Bakeracing and his yellow Corvettes.
The number 5 Corvette was driven by Mitch Wright and Shawn
Hendricks while number 4 was driven by the brother team of Tommy and Bobby Archer.
The 1987 Escort Endurance Championship also had four Corvettes prepped and raced by Tommy Morrison of Morrison-Cook Racing, which were also sponsored by Mid America Corvette Supplies.
We consider ourselves fortunate to have this piece of racing history in the MY Garage Collection.
¦ The 1985, 1986 and 1987 Championship Winners were Corvettes. Therefore in 1988, the Corvette was classed in a series by itself, The Corvette Challenge.
