World Speed Motorsports had a very memorable weekend at Laguna Seca with two wins, three pole positions and a ten-year celebration for a driver and an employee.
The weekend marked ten years that Frank McCormick has been racing under the World Speed Motorsports banner. McCormick started his racing career in the Star Mazda Series in 1994. He moved on to FormulaTR in 2002, and won the Sportsman Championship in 2003. Frank won an FS race for the second time during his 10 year celebration. Rob Williams the World Speed Motorsports truck driver also celebrated ten years with the team. Rob drove the transporter for the first time the very same weekend Frank drove his first race.
Richard Fullerton had both FS poles for the weekend, set a new track record in qualifying on Saturday and won in Sunday’s race.
Patrick O’Neill was competitive all weekend in FM, and was on pole for the first time in his career on Sunday. O’Neill led most of the laps in Sunday’s race battling with Bill Weaver last year’s champion. With 2 laps to go a backmarker crashed into the back of O’Neill’s car ending his race. WSM also ran Paul Campbell in FM. Campbell turned his fastest lap ever during Sunday’s race.
The team is preparing for additional Pro Mazda testing at Thunderhill with O’Neill this week, and during upcoming test days at Sears Point. The next WSM race event will be the SCCA Double Regional at Thunderhill July 10-11.
