RP Performance dominated at Watkins Glen with 8 Poles positions which led to 7 wins and 5 track records.    In Spec RX-7 Dave Ade had one pole, 2 wins as well as a track record on both the long and short course.    SSM saw Brian Zalner back on the track after over two years off from racing.  Brian Zalner had an outstanding weekend in a borrowed car with 2 poles, 2 wins and a track record on the short course.  With a new RP Performance engine Al  Gervais  in  his ITS RX-7 came away with a 1^st and 2^nd place finish.  Spec Miata was a battle all weekend long between teammates Brian Price and Ken Zalner. Both Brian and Ken each had a pole position in the weekend and finished 1^st and 2^nd on Saturday.  On Sunday both Brian Price and Ken spun but Ken was able to recover to finish 2^nd and Brian finished 4^th.  In the process Brian Price scored a lap record in Spec Miata on the short course.  In ITA Brian Price had the field covered both days in his RP Performance Mazda Miata.  Brian had the pole on both days with a win on Saturday. On Sunday Brian had a fuel pump failure that left him with a DNF but he did set the short course lap record in ITA. Greg Gale also made the trip and was able to finish in the top five in ITA.  I want to also thank TJ and Kim for all of their help over the weekend to make it all possible.  Our next race will be the weekend of June 9^th and 10^th at Summit Point.  Come on out and cheer us on!!

With the 2012 MARRS SCCA season about ready to get under way in the next few months things will be busy.  RP Performance is getting excited for what might be the biggest and busiest year so far.  Coming off 3 championships in 2011 we had a great year but are looking for a better year in 2012.  We some new drivers this year as well as all of the great drivers we had from last year things could not get any better.  We traded in last year’s championship car for a 1999 Spec Miata look for photos to follow soon.  Brian Price will be back in SM this year in the 99 Miata and was hoping to get the ARRC winning ITA car back out for a  good part of the season also. In SSM Scott Brunk will be back defending is Championship again in 2012.  After rolling his car last year Dave Wible has a built a brand new car and will be coming strong also.   Let’s see if we can get a 1, 2, finish with Scott and Dave. In ITS Al Gervais has been working hard on the car in the off season with lots of inprovements for 2012.The 3 day drivers school is coming up the 23^rd , 24^th and 25^th of March. We still have room for track support and rentals if you are looking at attending the school.  More news and updates to follow soon so keep posted and follow us on Facebook.

This is the sister car to the 2011ARRC winning Miata built by RP Performance with only one weekend on it. This was built as a top notch 1.6 ITA  car that is ready to race and looks great.  This was built with all the right parts to get you winning with little prep. This car could not be built for less then $25k so why even try it.

   Well we are back from the SCCA Marrs race at NJMP this past weekend.  Once again RP Performance came away with some great results and some great racing.  I can’t thank everyone  enough for the results that we came away with in the 6th round of racing in the Marrs series.   With 4 races on the schedule for the weekend Scott Brunk and Brian Price ended up with 4 wins and 3 poles in both SSM and SM. I also want to thank TJ for the great crew work and staying on top and the cars to help get the wins.  We will post the points as soon as we get them updated

Wow what a weekend we had at VIR for the Sarrc/Marrs challenge.  RP Performance drivers put on a great show and had some great results for the tow race event.  The complete results are listed here at http://www.ncrscca.com/club-racing-results.  We came away with 6 wins and 4 poles out of the 4 classes that we had cars competing in.  Brian Price in SM had 1 pole and 1 win and a 2^nd place in a very tough group of almost 50 cars. He had a great drive on Sunday after being on the pole and running off track on the first lap. He fell back to about 16^th place but was able to get back up to 2^nd place. Scott Brunk had 1 pole and 2 wins in SSM in a group of  25 cars. Other notables in SSM are John Gerbracht with a 4^th and 5^th place finish. Dave Wible with a 5^th and 6^th place finish. Glenn Davis and AJ Gillum with 8^th and 10^th places finishes. In ITS Al Gervais had 1 pole and 2 wins, in SRX7 Dave Ade with a pole and a 1^st place. In ITA Owen Schefer had 2 2^nd places results.
