SCCA June Sprints Road America 2024

𝙍𝙖𝙘𝙚 𝙍𝙚𝙥𝙤𝙧𝙩 𝙁𝙧𝙞𝙙𝙖𝙮 / 𝙎𝙖𝙩𝙪𝙧𝙙𝙖𝙮
Simply put, this year on Friday/Saturday Road America was not kind to us. Lots of crazy/unfavorable weather and unfortunate on track incidents cut short all our sessions.

I was confident we could come back in strong form for the feature race, even starting 21st (12th in class). We started the race towards the back of Prototype pack but I was able to make up 6 positions in the first 2 laps. At that point it was game on as we picked up one additional position on each of the next 2 laps, putting us 4th. Out came the full course caution and the field was bunched up, and opportunity was in the air. A couple of solid overtakes got us up to 2nd place‼️ But it all ended on an anticlimactic note, as the the racecar- my Stohr WF1 called it quits with an engine failure.
A big thank you to the guys on the Bulldog Motorsport team who worked long hours in the unrelenting rain & heat to give us a fast car. I lost count how many times we changed the set up and/or the tires to adjust to the ever changing weather and track conditions.
Incredibly disappointing. But I already can’t wait to be back for another shot at it 👊........The Runoffs will be here at Road America before we know it.
Grateful for the incredible support from the team, friends, and fans. Every race is a lesson and a step forward. Onward & upward! I had Family & Friends with me at the track, so Life is Good
