Novak Tropics Race Team

First WHRRI 2026 race weekend in the books. Started off with a new paddock spot in the front of the paddock!

Saturday quali was a crapshoot, with a disabled car parked between turns three and four we circulated under double yellow for almost the whole time. They let us effectively have a green-white-checkers to finish the session, with a lot of cars in semi warm tires the results were all jumbled up. Started the Saturday race 2nd, and more or less held pat all race through mayhem and carnage to finish there. There was a black flag all coming to two to go, but mercifully they eventually checkered the race instead of sending us back out on cold tires to do more damage. Unfortunately my front brakes seized on pit road after they released us to impound, and I came in on a tow hook. Saturday night involved changing the master cylinder and rebleeding brakes, but with no obvious culprit I'm still scratching my head.

Sunday we all decided to behave. As is normal on the first race weekend, a number of the new SRF racers broke up the SR field so there wasn't much class action, but some good out of class racing did ensue and I finished the day with a second and a third. Car is on the trailer in one piece with only minor work to go through, so all in all a good weekend!

Starting 3rd-5th! First time I'll be able to see the pace car pull off for the green in Champ! 9am start, live on YouTube

Tomorrow! I drive Saturday only, 9am start with me behind the wheel til around 1055am! Tune in to cheer on the #755 J3P Fox Mustang! Some of the last ever laps around this beautiful venue before it gets turned into an ugly data center

Bit of a size discrepancy lining up for the pursuit race! Loved playing with the big cars!

First and a second today! Getting greedy with the trophies! Unfortunately couldn't clear a slower out of class SRF to keep up with the leader in the afternoon race, but still did move up one spot from the start. Wrapped up the season the back half of a SR 4th and 5th in the just for fun Pursuit race, only 6.5 sec behind the winning V8 Firebird. Good video of my nose under F-body bumpers upcoming! Very uplifting last two weekends to cap off a less than stellar season, bring on 2026!

Third win in a row! Bit tougher task for this afternoon, starting third with two SRFs between me and first

Sunday Afternoon Lap 1 start. Great jump on the green and driving through a cloud of smoke Days of Thunder style! Couldn't give up first after that move! (there are three cars abreast in front of me at that point)

WHRRI Race 5 Sun Afternoon Race Start Driving through a cloud of smoke Cole Trickle style!

Thats a W to wrap up the weekend!

Started P2, finished P2, 0.6sec back from the leader. Nose to tail battle all race, and ran the fastest SR lap of the weekend. Car ran great, good to finally see some results!
