run with the Acuras, but beat them. In Grand Rapids, Turner broke
the 11 race Acura winning streak by taking his first World Challenge
victory. Turner won again at race 1 at Pikes Peak, CO and took
second place the next day in race 2.

in SCCA competition. In 1998, finished runner-up in the T2 Rookie of the
Year chase by a single point. Scored his first career podium finish at
