The St. Louis region SCCA hosted a combined Mid States Conference Majors/Regional IT event this past weekend at Circuit of St. Louis (Gateway).
This was the first weekend the Nufer Race Engineering had 2 drivers competing.
First of all, I want to thank Tom & Steve Scheifler for the use of Tom’s #28 NA for Nicho Nufer.
Nicho competed in the ITA class with Tom’s car as part of his requirement to gain a full competition license. This was his first race weekend after completing Skip Barber MX5 school in March.
Nicho said "The car ran perfectly all weekend, this was a great car to start my first race weekend in, the handling was great" !
Including practice on Friday I think we logged almost 5 hours of seat time.
Nicho won both Saturday and Sunday ITA regional races. The Sunday race was the same length (35 minute) as the Majors races that day. Nicho finished right behind a Porsche 944 Turbo in ITE (second overall).
The real bonus: no off track excursions or body damage all weekend.
Race Steward Dan Miklovic signed off on his full competition license J
Again, wanted to thank Tom and Steve for their help.
Also wanted to let the SM community know Nicho will be joining the fray soon with his older brother Max !.
