We’ve completed three race weekends so far and racked up 4 wins running both Elana and Norma. On the downside we’ve also had two DNFs, one in each car. The loss of points with the DNF for Elana hurts but is not insurmountable in our quest for the Super Tour national points title. For sure, we don’t want any more of them. That one was caused by hard racing at Buttonwillow that resulted in contact which damaged Elana and caused us to spin off track. Check out the video here. The Bulldog crew worked into the night to get her repaired and the next day I rewarded the team by jumping from 4th on the grid to 1st by the first corner and leading the rest of the way.

Last year after numerous electrical gremlins caused us several DNFs and missed race starts in Norma, we made the decision to totally redo the electrical system. This past weekend we got a chance to try it out in a San Francisco SCCA regional race at Sonoma Raceway where we won our last national championship back in 2018. The test day before the race weekend was fully booked up and we were wait listed but never got the call to come out. So, we had to run immediately in the 1st qualifying session and then the 1st race and, unfortunately, we had a few issues to sort out since Norma hadn’t been run in almost one year. Once everything was sorted out though, Norma ran flawlessly and in race 2 we broke the all-time track record on two successive laps. Check the video out here.

We have four race weekends coming up over the next five and a half weeks now so stay tuned for further updates.
