Web Performance is one of the sponsors, along with OpenNMS, of Jason Tower in his Spec E30 race car for 2010 and 2011. He’s consistently made progress as a driver, so that by the end of the season he was able to place third in all three races in October’s Great Pumpkin Run at the Carolina Motorsports Park!

A video of the first race is below, along with Jason’s blow-by-blow description:

“Saturday qualifying was smooth except for a GTS4 car that spun, I nabbed 5th of 17 cars with only a tenth of a second separating P3 and P5. The two front runners (Eric Palacio and Evan Levine) were in another area code with fast laps nearly 1.5 seconds faster than the rest of us. As usual it was a zany start, I took a healthy hit in the rear in turn 8 and got very sideways, cost me a couple of spots but I managed to get them back within a lap or two. The middle of the race was dominated by a great battle with Spec E30 veteran Robert Patton, a wily competitor who knows how to defend and is always a challenge to get around. I made a pass in turn 5 but gave it back a lap later after a slower car held me up for a fraction of a second exiting turn 14, allowing Robert to take the spot back. Fortunately I was able to pass him again in the same spot and make it stick, holding on to the position to finish third. Hooray podium finish!”
