2024:
April 27th/28th - Pittsburgh International Race Complex, Wampum, PA - Majors
Saturday qualifying: DNQ*
* Rain came just before the start of qualifying, delaying my arrival at grid due to the need to change tires. Most the field had gone out, but I was
held. After 2 laps qualifying was black flagged due to lightning and never resumed. As a result I needed (and got) a waiver to race from the Race Director.
Saturday race: 17th (of 19)* - best lap: 2m 00.842s (82.82mph) <video>
* In all sessions all other cars were running SADEV sequential gearboxes - i.e., the cars were mechanically faster (estimated to be 1s per lap faster).
Saturday qualifying for Sunday's race: 9th (of 19) - best lap: 1m 58.993s (84.11mph)
Sunday race: 16th (of 19) - best lap: 1m 58.836s (84.22mph) <video>
* In addition to the SADEV gearboxes disadvantage, my clutch started to slip badly, dropping me down the field. The clutch issues forced an earlier
than planned change over to the SADEV after the race, so this would be the last race using the H-pattern gearbox.
August 24th/25th - Pittsburgh International Race Complex, Wampum, PA - Divisional
Saturday qualifying: 2nd (of 3) - best lap: 1m 04.527s (85.36mph)
Saturday race: 3rd (of 3)* - best lap: 1m 05.818s (83.69mph)
* Lots of issues: car wouldn't idle and needed resetting after the race; the front-nose popped up after the near-dash pin undid itself,
so I came into the pits to have it secured, and the car stalled because of the idle issue; then it wouldn't restart - the starter motor had failed at the end of qualifying and replaced, but a wire came off before I pitted, requiring a push start; then I spun in turn-1 requiring another push start from the emergency crew; and at the end of the race I hit debris and damaged the nose after a drive shaft had came off another car; so I only completed 11 of 18 laps.
