Quotable:
“As drivers, we start each season with a certain set of goals and benchmarks we hope to achieve throughout the year and you adjust along the way. Our Bandero GR Supra is a strong-running car. We have two events left to achieve our goal of parking our car in the winner’s circle before the year is up. And for me personally, I really want to finish the season ranked in the top five. To move into fifth is a bit of a tall order, with 93 points separating us from Tasca, but it’s doable. Thankfully, Pomona features a points-and-a-half format, so while it’s not out of reach, it’s imperative we go rounds this weekend if we want to have a shot.” |
