There were 12 events total and I ran in 9. A lot of travel, a lot of windshield time, a lot of laps. It was a great season and honestly a little surreal to look back on how much ground was covered just to make every round.
Most weekends I was pretty much on my own. No crew, no caravan, no paddock hangouts. Just load up, drive, unload, race, load up, drive home. It was fun but also oddly quiet at times, especially after sessions when many others had friends around. Still, there was something satisfying about keeping it simple and focused.
The car was absolutely solid all year. No drama, no mechanical DNFs, just consistent pace and execution. That consistency is really what won it. I was not always the fastest car on raw pace, but I was always there, finished every race, and avoided mistakes.
Huge thanks to dogbone who encouraged, offered advice, and just enjoyed the process with me.
Onward.

Congrats on your class win!
