2005 Schedule

Racing schedules are flexible at best. The initial plan for this year was to run the SCCA Central Division East-West Challenge series plus the three Midwestern Council driver's school weekends. After an (unexpected) win at the first MC race and a suspension failure at the first EWC event, the plan did a 180. The 2005 schedule and results so far look like this:

April 10 - MC @ BFR: 1st
May 1 - SCCA National @ BFR: 6th*
May 15 - MC @ MM: 1st
May 28-29 - EWC @ GRA: Withdrawn
June 12 - MC @ BFR: 1st
July 10 - MC @ RA: 1st
July 24 - MC @ BFR (Sunday only)
August 13-14 - EWC @ RA (2 races)
August 21 - MC @ BFR (Sunday only)
August 28 - CCCA Masterpiece Show at Milwaukee Art Museum
September 3 - MC @ GM (Saturday only)
September 10-11 - EWC @ M-O (2 races)
September 17-18 - MC @ BFR (instructing Saturday; race Sunday)
October 1-2 - MC @ ACC (Sunday only)
October 15-16 - MC @ BFR (100 mile race)

* This was my first SCCA National event. Being 25 years old and prepared to a slightly different set of rules, the car was hopelessly outclassed. A bit like driving a Model T on the freeway.
