We had a great turnout for this weekend's SCCA Regional race at Sonoma, in our Group 1 of FA/F4/FM we had 29 cars! This being a Formula Car Challenge event certainly help build the interest. Friday was a test day that helped out as this weekend's schedule had no practice sessions, just Quals and Races. Saturday Qual went well with no real set-up changes needed after Friday's … [Read more...] about SFR SCCA SONOMA, JULY ’19
VARA BRITISH EXTRAVAGANZA, MAY ’19
Great weekend of racing with my VARA buds. Even though my Datsun 710 is for sale, I just had to break it out and join the fun (it ran great by the way). The highlights of the weekend were the cars brought out for the final Kastner Cup race. The owner of the Brock-Kastner TR250k even brought it out to race, what an amazing piece of automotive history, and it was damn fast to … [Read more...] about VARA BRITISH EXTRAVAGANZA, MAY ’19

SONOMA SCCA MAJOR, JAN ’19
In the midst of weeks of rain, we had a race at Sonoma raceway! The Sunday race was under cold, cloudy, but dry skies, however the track was weeping all over the place, making for some "exciting" conditions. I raced my Pro Mazda with Group 4 which this weekend included FA and F4. I learned that F4 is made up mostly of young-ins transitioning out of go-carts, and making their … [Read more...] about SONOMA SCCA MAJOR, JAN ’19
