Peter Zekert and Team Booble Racing scored it’s third consecutive Midwest Division GTL Championship. According to a report in the Midwest Division Racing Report, “Peter Zekert (StL) maxed out at 72 points from 7 wins and remains the only MiDiv GT Lite champion there has ever been.” [GTL is the result of a GT4/GT5 merger in 2005. Zekert raced previously in GT5 from 1984-2004, finishing second in the Midwest Division race on several occasions.]

Second to Zekert in the Midwest Division point race was Chris Bovis of Lawrence, KS with 48 points; followed closely by Roy Lopshire (44 pts); Brad Lewis (43); R. Britton Brown (39); Ken Probst (21); and Keith Maloney (20).

“Winning the Midwest Division in one thing, but winning the National Championship is another”, said Zekert. The SCCA National Championship comes to Heartland Park Topeka Oct. 12-14. Driver’s from across the country in the top-10 in their Divisional Points are invited to the Inter-Divisional “One Race Winner Takes All” event. “I only ran twice at Heartland Park this year. Last year I ran 4-5 times. Luckily the car is good and we are going to test there the week before. That should help us stay close to the top.”

In 2006 Zekert and Team Booble surprised the racing community by posting a best qualifying time on day two and held on to a front row second place qualifying position. In the race, while comfortably running in second, Zekert’s engine let go in a cloud of smoke, ending his championship hopes.

Good Luck to the 2007 Booble Racing Nissan 200SX team!
