2024 SCCA June Sprints at Road America - Formula Atlantic, Swift 008.a: 21st to 8th!
Here is my perspective of the 2024 SCCA June Sprints in Formula Atlantic in my new-to-me Swift 008.a. I didn't qualify in this car, so I had to start from the back after fighting a gearbox issue all week. This was my second ever race in this car and first with the new ECU and Toyota engine package that I'm developing. I was still only shifting around 9400 RPM, so there is a ways to go yet. I was able to work through the field in a shortened 10-lap race from P21 to P8. Thank you to everyone who made this whole project come together after almost two years:
NVR Racing
Zio D's Motorsports
Havoc Motorsport
Jim Johnston and Dave Caswell
And most importantly, my awesome and supportive mom and dad.
I'm looking forward to the continued development of this new electronics and Toyota engine package for these cars, and I will be building another Swift with this package over the next few months.

Swift 008.a Shakedown Lap at Autobahn Country Club Full Track
zhlédnutí 167Před 21 dnem
This is one of my laps from a recent shakedown of a somewhat new-to-me Swift 008.a Formula Atlantic at Autobahn Country Club's Full Track. We are developing a new ECU package for these aging Formula Atlantic cars to bring them up to modern standards, so this is a test of a new Toyota engine and new ECU package.

This is the second feature race from the first official weekend of the Gridlife Rush SR national championship. I started P20 due to a mechanical DNF in the qualifying race. I made it up to P4 by the end of the race, so enjoy my run through the field. Thanks to Diversion Motorsports, LLC for the amazing car prep and the entire Rush Auto Works team for putting on such a great event!

zhlédnutí 5KPřed rokem
Best lap was a 2:11.199 on the second to last lap, I kept picking up time every lap except the last when I came up on traffic in the Kink and lifted partially off the throttle, compromising my exit and the run down to Canada Corner. I finished second in the 9F3 class and fourth overall. Thanks to Palm Rat Golf and Approyo for helping to make this weekend possible!

    SO frustrating to watch a clearly superior driver get pulled in the straights due to the SCCA's class structure. PFMs are such great all-around single seaters, but they just don't have the straightline speed of FAs (but fortunately not the 5-digit engine rebuild pricetags either, lol). Thanks for posting this...enjoyed (and envied) every lap, even with the fuel issue at the end!

    Great driving dude. Fyi there was 1 turn where I think it's like turn 5, it's tricky. It looks like the reason the guy kept pulling away is because he would brake early and cut wide on the first half of the turn, and then cut in and add power causing him to shoot out like that. You did the opposite and that's why he always pulled away. I'm talking about at 12:55
