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.

WeatherTech, SCRAMP, and the County seem to be playing well together for now, as track maintenance and upgrades are occurring, and there are rumors Indy cars will be coming back soon. Great bonus for us local club racers who get to use this … [Read more...] about SFR SCCA LAGUNA ’18
