The ACTEC Foundation Circuit Grand Prix: And We Have a Winner!
In a stunning final-lap surge, the Fifth Circuit downshifted, drafted, and then blasted past the checkered flag, taking first place with an impressive 13.07% Fellow participation. A true podium-worthy performance!
The goal of this event is to maximize friendly participation, with an emphasis on participation rather than dollars spent.
Podium Results
- 1st Place — Fifth Circuit: 13.07% participation

- 3rd Place — Eleventh Circuit: 5.96% participation
The final standings were revealed Monday, greeted with well-earned cheers from the Foundation Directors and volunteers stationed at the “pit wall” during the meeting. A special thank-you to our race stewards — Bob Kirkland and David Edwards, Co-Chairs of the Fundraising Committee — for fueling this high-octane competition.
Huge thanks to all Fellows who jumped into the driver’s seat! Your support powers the Foundation’s mission — and keeps this friendly race running year after year.
