Hi all,

My brother Paul drove the Elite Autosport GEN3 in Midwest Council races at Road America this past weekend. The race field included examples of all three generations of Spec Racer as well as Formula Fords and Formula Vees. The link below is a video of his overall win on Saturday. I apologize in advance for the choppy transition in the middle where I edited out the red flag period required to clean up an incident in the kink.

Paul's best lap in the GEN3 during the weekend was a 2:38.1. For comparison, the best lap run by a GEN2 was 2:42.6. I think one of the Spec Renaults ran a 2:49. The track surface in turns 5, 6, and 8 was in bad shape. The World Sports Car Series cars that raced at RA on August 9 managed to dig grooves in the surface that would grab the front end of the car and push it to the outer edge of the track.

I knew that the Gen3 was fast but that is new overall track record, Dario will not be happy you broke his 1:39.866 previous lap record.

Sorry about that. I have corrected the lap times in my original post.
