2011 GRAND Am Continental Tire Series VIR: Justin competed in the GRAND AM Contintental Tire ST Race at Virginia International Raceway on Saturday. In practice on Friday Justin was P2 and P3 in the 2 sessions, and feeling good about the car, he and his co-driver Chris Brown elected to save the car and skipped the 3rd practice b4 the race on Saturday morning.

Chris qualified 24th out of 36 (there are 2 drivers in the ST series as it is a 2 1/2 endurance race) and when Justin got in the car with 1 and 1/2 hours left in the race he was in 21st place. The race included a number of cautions, 5 in total for 27 of the 55 laps contested.... with at least 8 cars being retired in the mayhem.

Justin fought his way through traffic during his stint and worked his way up to 5th when the white flag was thrown... on the final lap he moved into 3rd place coming down the straightaway after the famous Oak Tree turn, but could not hold it and was passed coming to the checker to finish in 5th.

Next up, historic Lime Rock Park in Lakeville, CT on Memorial Day Weekend.

2011 GRAND Am Continental Tire Series: Barber Motorsport Park, April 7-9. Started 20th finished 12th. Many thanks to the crew at Race Epic for giving me a fantastic car for the Barber 200.

Also many thanks to DAMG Racing and Merchant Services LTD for getting me to the track!! It was great getting back in the car after 7 months, the crew had an amazing pit stop and we worked our way from 20th up to a twelfth place finish. Thanks to my co-driver Chris Brown for handing the car off to me in superb condition.

During the race we were as high as 3rd place. Glad to have avoided the end of race mayhem and got the car home in one piece. Congratulations to our sister car for finishing P3, driven by Jeff Mosing and Jesse Combs.

2010 Playboy Mazda MX-5 Cup: Road America - Justin remains tied for 1st Place after an accident filled event at Road America.

Justin started from the sixth position on Sunday, his lowest starting position of the season, but worked his way through a crowded pack to end up in 4th place, barely missing a podium finish by less than 1/2 a second.

The race finished under caution (therefore all competitors had to hold their position) on the back end of the last lap after a horrific accident in turn 4 which saw two cars destroyed but their drivers walk away unharmed. Road America, a 4.09 mile legendary road course, is known for its high speed straight-aways and 14 difficult turns.

During the race weekend 4 cars were totaled. The circuit now moves next week to New Jersey Motorsports Park for a "double weekend" as part of the Mazda Motorsports Festival. Two races will be held which will likely shape the season for the top contestants in the field.

During the race on Saturday, Justin held onto the top position through 25 laps. He battled with two Compass 360 Honda's, never falling past third as the lead group opened up a sizable advantage over the rest of the ST field. On lap 25 Justin noticed a problem with the left rear of the car. When he pitted the team changed drivers and Jason (Saini) noticed the same left rear problem. When he returned to the pits the mechanics noted the problem could not be repaired on track and the car was retired.
