Friday Open – Iowa
- Mike -P got a passing to the left black flag when the leaders wrecked out and I had to avoid them then running a lap down on a restart somebody misses the gear and they all stack up and they turn each other and take out the outside lane, including me, DNF
- Tony -P7 race was typical nis short track’n was caught up in 4 yes 4 wrecks in front of me from guys not knowing how to handle the bump. Spent last 120 laps on 16x. Finally had a nice long run at the end of the night which i was a moving through the field. Iowa isn’t that hard to drive
- Brad – P wrecked on lap 2!
- Hall – P wrecked out, caution fest, a lot of idiots, I’m going low to avoid a near wreck up high and then get loose and over correct
Sunday Open – Iowa
- Mike- P wrecked out didn’t have the right set in the car and I couldn’t drive it and wrecked. I was distracted going into this race by some other stuff and that messed me up.
- Kyle P P Ran Out Of TALENT early. Was top 10 for the first 20ish laps and just lost it off of 4 and nosed into the outside wall and then collected a half dozen others and the car was just “D O N E” DONE!
Wednesday Open – New Hampshire
- Mike- P17- first lap I get wrecked out by some bonehead who can’t hold his car meatball with 4 1/2 minutes damage. Limp around and get it fixed throughout. During one caution while getting damage fixed as I went to leave the pit it decided to give me another set of tires so I ended up taking two sets of tires on the same stop and ended up losing a lap The race finally decided to go get up to as high as 13th and then faded caught caution but kept getting involved in incident and got DQd on the final restart for too many incidents while running ninth. P17. 12 cautions.
- David – P technical failure
- Justin – P Whatever, Some days I don’t even deserve to click that green race button to grid up!
- Tyler – P disqualified out
- Kyle P P21 Car was good and strong. Started P5 and on the start 3 cars in front of me were involved in 2 separate wrecks and I got passing on the left on the start and was given a drive through after reaching P2. Stayed in the back most of the first half of the race and then marched up to top 10 and then got tagged from a car out of 4 who bounced off the outside wall and then I was along for the ride and had over 5 minutes of repairs and went down 7 laps and just rode around in the back collecting a P21 and done for the week. Bring on Nashville next week.
- Chris W – P 9. Road around in the back to be safe….. Aaaaand ended up with 22x. Car was wrecked on 100 lap tires and I spun causing a caution. Got the wave around, another caution gave me tires for a GWC. Went from 23rd to 9th. The worst feeling P9. After my spin all my teammates had horrible luck.

Official Series
6hrs at the Glen
- Tom, David, McKee and Granspeed– P7. I ran the 1st and 4th stint. On the first stint started in 5th, had to avoid a turn 1 wreck on lap 2, took the runoff and stopped to escape. Put me in last. Drove back to 7th. Got the car back in 3rd, drove up to 2nd. Then during the rain out late drivers ran into torpedoes.
- Justin- I partnered with Brad. He deserved a better teammate. There’s a lot of things I need to learn about this road racing stuff “being consistent” Brad had race winning speed. His first stint he put on a clinic on, 20 something to 8th. Its going to be a different Story next year on these enduro’s i’m going to figure it out. We are going to get that trophy someday!
- Brad – What a fun time Justin and I had. Regardless of the outcome it is just enjoyable to team race. We had a great start and were doing well till the rain came. Justin pitted early for wets and I took over. We were making good time but it just continued to get heavier and heavier. The bus stop was a lake and I ended up looping it and stuffed it in the tires. We did get the damage fixed and Justin finished the race and came home in 28th.
FIA F4
- Ellis – Road America. Started P2. Winner winner, chicken dinner.! 99th career win
- Started fifth got wrecked on one and a three wide incident finished P 14
- Qualified second- finished p1 – career win number 100!!!
- Qualified fifth at mid Ohio. Got wrecked in lap one had to pit for a quick repair, fell to dead last 18th and then gradually worked my way up to tonight if I had another lab or two, I could probably get to six but p nine.
- Qualified eight out of 25
IMSA
- Hall – P 1, at the glen after twice being wrecked out by LMP2’s failing to pay attention on a straight away.
- Brad – P3 (The Glen, GTD) Started 6th in class and ran a consistent and clean race. The entire session was dry and I was able to capitalize on some others misfortunes. GTP doing GTP things but I was intentional when allowing them to pass.
GT Sprint Simucube Series
- Brad – P11 (Barcelona) Started p16 and grabbed some spots early on and was in top 10. Ended up with a lazy spin as I continue to learn the new Corvette. Was able to recover but fell just a spot short to get back into the top 10. This series is extremely competitive and the races have been good.
