SPEEDSF CHALLENGE - JULY 5, 2020 - ROUND 5 @ WEATHERTECH RACEWAY LAGUNA SECA
Class Miata at it again AND a broken class lap record set by a not-Miata! Fresh boi on the scene, Tony Rodriguez took that 2003 Toyota MR2 Spyder for a graceful 1:46.685 lap time straight into 1st place, while Joe Kou in his 1991 Mazda Miata took 2nd with his 1:48.737 lap time. 3rd place was cemented by Eduardo Li thanks to a 1:48.740 lap time in a 1991 Mazda Miata, .003 of a second away from 2nd! A gust of wind in the right direction could have definitely helped in this instance!
SPEEDSF CHALLENGE - FEBRUARY 23, 2020 - ROUND 1, PT. 2 @ THUNDERHILL RACEWAY
Round 2, Day 2 of the Thunderhill East double-header. A rather cloudy day up until mid-afternoon, temps were kind to our drivers which allowed them to get the most out of their tires without overheating! 20 brave souls entered the fray for this Bypass configuration, which resulted in a 3-month old S3 lap record to be broken!
SPEEDSF CHALLENGE - FEBRUARY 22, 2020 - ROUND 1 @ THUNDERHILL RACEWAY

Round 1 featured 3 broken class records for this configuration. What can we say? Records were made to be broken!
2020 SpeedSF Challenge Banquet and Awards Ceremony
Being a part of the SpeedSF Challenge brings a great community of people who just want to go fast, have fun, and probably win something along the way. This past season featured absolute domination by a driver in each of the classes while also producing very close results between places during various rounds. 177 total drivers participated in the SpeedSF Challenge in 2019. We certainly look forward to seeing more drivers for this upcoming 2020 season, but for now, let’s talk about the fast bois of 2019!
