Eight NEPA drivers made the long trek to Topeka Kansas this year compete in the SCCA’s version of the World Series of Amateur Racing.
In September, Solo Racers Chris Shenefield, Chris Janusz and Kristell Janusz represented the NEPA Solo community by bringing home 2 trophies. Chris Shenefield brought home a 2nd place in STS and Kristell Janusz brought home a 3rd place in SML. Chris Janusz barely missed a trophy in the large SM class with an 11th place finish.
In October, it was our NEPA Road Racer’s turn to attack Heartland Park in Topeka. Representing our region was John Costello, Joel Lipperini, Sam Ryan, Rich Leslie, and Darryl Shoff.
In SSC, John Costello started 17th but after dropping back at the start, was able to come back to 16th in his Honda Civic.
Joel Lipperini started in 5th but a turn on accident sent him a number of positions back. Joel was able to charge back to 6th place but a second accident in turn 1 took him out for good and ended his day in 22nd.
Sam Ryan started in 7th and luckily missed the turn one accident. Sam had a good race and moved to 4th place where he finished. Good job Sam!
In FF, Rich Leslie qualified well in 11th but for the second year, he was taken out on the first lap.
In T3, Joel Lipperini started in 2nd but was passed at the start and ran in 3rd place the rest of the race. Nice finish Joel!
In S2000, Darryl Shoff had lots of problems during qualifying. He started the race 12th but was able to move up to 8th by the end of the race. Darryl received the “Hard Charger” award. Good job Darryl! -(Webmaster)
