In Race 1, the No. 10 Honda Spectrum 012 driver claimed the pole and led every lap to take the checkered flag. With his fifth win of the season, he broke the series records for wins. In Race 2, he again started from pole and led all but a half of a lap. He battled back on the last lap before ultimately taking the victory.
“Words can not describe how amazing this last weekend was after finishing P1 in every session including P1 in both practice session, two pole positions, and two race wins in the second to last round of the F1600 Championship Series at Mid-Ohio,” Eidson said. “On top of that, we’re in a great position to win the F1600 Championship with only one more round to go at Summit Point.”
With his three wins, Eidson claimed the “The King of the Buckeyes Championship,” awarded to the driver scoring the most points in the four Mid-Ohio races this season. The prizes include a trophy, commemorative poster, gift cards, test day voucher, and various other items from series partners.
Eidson remains atop the driver point standings. He has a commanding 83-point lead with just the final two races remaining.
“Overall, it was a great weekend for Jake and the crew,” said team owner Dominic Cape. “Jake has a good lead heading into the final races, and that’s all we can ask for.”
In addition to the two race weekends at Mid-Ohio, the team also campaigned two cars in the USF2000 Series that raced at the famed natural road course last weekend.
“After spending three weeks in Ohio, we should claim residency,” joked team owner Nicholas Cape.
As a team, Cape Motorsports competed in seven races at Mid-Ohio, on three consecutive weekends. The drivers claimed five wins, two second-place finishes, five poles, and seven front-row starts.
“It was a fantastic achievement by the whole team without question,” said Dominic Cape. “I am very proud of everyone, drivers, crew chiefs and engineers, now we’ll step our game up for the final races in each championship.”
Eidson will next be on track for the final two F1600 races at Summit Point September 23-25. The USF2000 Series will next be on track September 6 and 7 at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca. You can follow the team on Facebook and Twitter (CMwithWTR) for updates.
