Lloyd Read Widens Lead in SCCA Formula Car Championship

Maaco-sponsored Lloyd Read expanded his lead in the SFR Formula Championship by placing 2nd in Round 5 and 2nd again in Round 6 of the series. That puts Read 4 points ahead of Jerry Kroll and 8 points in front of John Yeatman in the run for the championship.

Read said, "Laguna Seca this weekend went well. I qualified 2nd in the first race and was leading into turn 2 but then got passed in turn 4. I was then battling for 2nd when I had a gearbox issue and another car got around me. So I knuckled down and re-passed him 2 laps later and drove on to the end of the race."

"The second race I qualified 2nd again but was only .01 off the pole time! So close! The race started and I was 2nd for 5 laps until we had a safety car. On the restart we changed positions 3 times in one straightaway dogging around slower cars. I was now forth coming out of turn 2 and was pissed. So I made a move into turn 3 and took 3rd back. Then 1 lap later I pressured the guy in 2nd into making a mistake and he spun in turn 10. I drove to the checkered flag in 2nd."

"Next race for me is Portland , Oregon in 2 weeks in the Formula Car Challenge."

Great racing, Lloyd. Good luck in Portland.

Maaco Sponsored Formula Mazda Crashes

WCFE Round 4 at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca from Lloyd Read on Vimeo.

The Maaco sponsored Lloyd Read Formula Mazda is still in the hunt for the FE Championship but as this video shows, it was forced to retire during Round 4 of the series. Read spins early in the race then, amazingly, retakes most of the cars in the field. Sadly, as Read attempts a pass in Turn 2, he is forced off the track, spins and is hit by another car. Suspension damage puts the car out of the race.

See Read in his faster Pro Formula Mazda this weekend at Infineon Raceway, Sears Point for the Formula Car Challenge by Goodyear:

First Place Lloyd Read at Mazda Raceway, Laguna Seca
in Maaco sponsored Formula Car

In the second race of the day Read again looked great, passing much of the field before tangling with another car in Turn 2 at the mid-point of the race. He was quickly able to clear his car from oncoming traffic and get back on the track only to discover that damage to his rear suspension prevented him from finishing.
