Our 2016 schedule is now out (get it here) and we start the season early at the end of January at Auto Club Speedway in Fontana...the site of our last race. Chris Ferrell is coming back to P1 so looking forward to our first dust-up right from the get-go. This event is shaping up to have several other top competitors in attendance. We'll have a few new things to try out from what we learned last time. This will be a year of refinement as our basic package of the Norma chassis and Honda power is excellent. I'm also adding data collection to the car which is a first for me.
Over the off-season, Jason won a very prestigious award, "Mechanic of the Year", from the Sports Car Club of America. This prize is nationally recognized, not always given every year, and his equivalent of winning the Runoffs. Jason is so deserving of this award and the recognition that comes with it. He puts more effort and heart into what he does than just about anyone. I feel honored to have Jason as my head mechanic. Jason's company, Bulldog Motorsports, is thriving in a very small niche business that helps make championships possible. In addition to our Western Conference and NORPAC Championships, he supported two other teammates in two different classes who also won championships in 2015. Visiting his shop is always a thrill as the diversity of race cars on display is impressive.
Our schedule for 2016 is the most ambitious yet, 12 events and 23 races. Jason and I have a solid game plan for a great season. Let the racing begin.
