FIA F4
- Ellis– P10– started at ninth got my way up to fourth. I see a guy coming. He was super fast. I let him go and fall the fifth shortly after he goes over the curbs turns his car sideways and I T-bone him. I have to pit for repair. I come back out 12th and drive it back up to finish P 10.
- Top split started 16th got to the ninth after lap one held it until the end when a guy tried to pass me on the second to last corner and basically drove me off. The track ended up P 15.
- Third attempt car number one had a bad qualifying start at 18th got to the highest 10th but then got racing a guy and got ran off the road go back to 18th and then recovered back up to finish P 13th
- Onto the next week at Detroit Belle Isle. First attempt ended up, wrecked out, not a fan of this track. There’s no runoff anywhere.
- Second attempt qualified, fifth top split and finished P5 great race 95 points
- Qualified 13th drove it up to P5 and it ended up finishing P6 with 98 points.
- Qualified eight out of 16 drove it up to P5 ended up spinning and finishing P6. 85 points.
B Open
- Brad W – P20 (Dover) Started p10 gave up a few spots on start to try and settle in for a longer run and save tires. Accident happened ahead of me, almost had it cleared but got clipped in LF and broke the wheel. 10 minutes of damage was not worth hanging around for. Love the car just not enjoying the racing.
Draft Master
- John P4. Missed the big early wreck. The top 4 finished with a huge breakaway.
IMSA
- Brad – P2 (GTD-Suzuka) Started on slicks as the track was moderately wet (50%). Was able to avoid some first lap mayhem and drove to the leader from 12 seconds back, he was on wets and pitted. I thought for sure that I had this one won. Made my stop and he came out about 2.5 seconds behind me and had more pace than I did.
