Heat One/West Course

David Whitener overcame a variety of weather conditions over two days to take home his third Tire Rack SCCA Solo National Championship. Heading into Friday’s three runs, Whitener planned to throw down a fast lap and cruise the rest of the competition. Whitener did that, holding the lead after each driver had taken their first run on the West Course. Whitener then shaved off 1.1 seconds on his second run, which ended up securing his title bid by a 1.170-second margin.
