You’ve heard the old saying “knock on wood” when something is on a positive streak but we say GOOD JOB to all the 2025 International GT competitors for marking 6 event weekends without any cautions for car-to-car contact!! Even with large fields and tight starts (like the one in the photo from March at Road Atlanta) everyone has raced clean and safe!

Click on the photo of Tom Kirk’s 22A to link to a video from Mid Ohio’s enduro showing exactly what we mean. Fast, fun, competitive, safe racing!

Admittedly, there have been a few off-course adventures taken by single cars but no car-to-car contact resulting in caution periods. We say big KUDOS!!
We’re well past the half-way mark in the season with just four races remaining and we look forward to more of the same super fast, safe and conscientious racing throughout the final events of the year. KEEP IT UP!
