In GT2 both Jimmy and Ralph have been doing a fantastic job competing in there first ever season in the SIRS. Not to mention a class full of veterans of 4+ years to the SIRS. Jimmy had an awesome performance week 4 and got his first podium finish of the season. Each race Jimmy has gotten faster and is beginning to put pressure on the veterans. Ralph has showed improvements each week as well. He has consistently gotten faster each week and has shaved off a full second on his average lap times since SIRS began!

David Tanioka has been having a outstanding season putting him first place in GT3! He has put major pressure on GT3 defending champion and teammate Joe Filipanko. David is driving like a SIRS veteran in his first year and has a very good chance of taking the class championship if he keeps up his performance. Joe has scored 3 podium finishes this season and will need a few more to stay in the running for class championship.

With the season half over and some very impressive performances, team Grip and Hammer hopes to bring home a few class championships this year!
It is hard to think that the season has gone by to this point so fast. We are all in good positions and have had some good hard fought races. We have also had a few that could have been a little better. My high point was getting a P2 victory that came in an all out race. No red flags or dive passes… I am looking forward to a good battle with Zach Koping, who has become a strong driver and has been my match for much of the season. I hope to regain the GT4 title this season or at least give the guys a good fight. I will do my best to bring Team Grip and Hammer the most points possible, and have fun along the way. See you on the grid.
