I received official notification this week that confirmed I am the Hoosier Super Tour Champion for the FF class! Ironically, going into the season, we had no idea that this was even something I would be in the running for. When looking at the season, 3 races on the SCCA calendar stood out. Sebring wasContinue reading “2023 SCCA Hoosier Super Tour”

FRP Road America
Two weeks ago, I attended the June Sprints to get some time on the Road America track before the race this past weekend. With it being a new track for me and a new surface, I wanted to spend some time getting to know it before the Formula Race Promotions races. Formula 1600/Formula Ford isContinue reading “FRP Road America”
SCCA June Sprints
Road America is about as close to a “local track” as I have, although the last 3 years I’ve race mostly on the karting track. I did go watch an FRP weekend a couple of years ago to check in out. And last year did a Mazda Miata school that utilized part of the track.Continue reading “SCCA June Sprints”
FRP Pittsburg
Last year when we were trying to figure out our plans for this year we decided to do the last Formula Race Promotions race of the year at Pittsburgh International Raceway in October. It was my second time racing in F1600 but first in the pro racing series. Overall it was a good experience, runningContinue reading “FRP Pittsburg”
FRP Lime Rock
Located in the Berkshires, Lime Rock Park is a beautiful but remote area. There wasn’t too much in the area except for cute little towns. The track is relatively short but fun. This was the biggest crowd I’ve race in front of to date as it coincided with the TransAm Memorial Day event. People wereContinue reading “FRP Lime Rock”
FRP at Mid-Ohio
My first visit to the iconic MidOhio Sports Car Course was a cold, wet experience. The weather was pretty miserable and changed constantly. We started with a practice day Friday that was completely wet, no dry laps to be had. Not the best way to learn a new track. Fortunately for me, Team Pelfrey hasContinue reading “FRP at Mid-Ohio”
Road Atlanta, Part 2
Two weeks after the SCCA Hoosier Super Tour event, MNR returned to Road Atlanta for the biggest car racing event Mateo has been involved in. Not only was there a pack field of 32 F1600s on the track, but the Formula Race Promotions races shared the track with the TransAm series and Sportscar Vintage RacingContinue reading “Road Atlanta, Part 2”
Road Atlanta, Part 1
The SCCA Hoosier SuperTour Event at Michelin Road Atlanta this past weekend was the first of two March races at the track. The first Formula Race Promotions event of the 2023 will be there in 2 weeks, so this was a great opportunity to get some solid practice laps in under competitive conditions. It turnedContinue reading “Road Atlanta, Part 1”

SCCA Hoosier Super Tour – Sebring Race Recap
The 2023 Sebring Super Tour event started much like last year’s event finished…with rain. Friday featured 2 qualifying sessions with vastly different weather conditions. The first qualifying session was in the rain. While some competitors opted to skip the session, Mateo chose to get some rain practice even though the conditions were expected to improveContinue reading “SCCA Hoosier Super Tour – Sebring Race Recap”
