The upcoming week is a busy one, with the next SRO World Challenge event on tap at my home track of Virginia International Raceway. It’s exciting for several reasons, one being that there’s actually going to be a test event in the days leading up to the race. That...

Last weekend was the opening round of the Lamborghini Super Trofeo season at Circuit of the Americas. It was especially exciting because they were running in conjunction with NASCAR, so the track was really busy with all three divisions of NASCAR plus Lamborghini...

Last weekend I was at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course for the most recent round on the IMSA and Idemitsu Mazda MX-5 Cup schedule. It was an absolutely gorgeous weekend, which anyone who’s been to Mid-Ohio knows is a privilege, since that track is notorious for crazy...
