season results / recap
In our inaugural season we competed in 2 race events in the spring of 2018, finishing 2nd overall at both (4 race events were held: Whitesburg & Toyota Classic at Jemison in the fall, and in the spring the Chambers Co. Grand Prix & Grissom Grand Prix).
The season highlight was dominating the endurance race in a field of veteran teams at the 2018 Grissom Grand Prix. To have come out of nowhere and won 1st place among so many great teams was truly special. Points earned at our two race events were enough for us to finish 8th nationally in the season points race with 387.59 points - a position we were very proud of for our first season!
