Segment Breakdown

• • • Segments 1–4: Dean Donaldson was untouchable, winning four consecutive segments and setting times that reset the expectations for this track.

    • Segments 5–7: The Expert field traded blows, with Steve Stewart and Dustin Jolley picking up segment wins as Dean rotated out.

    • Segment 8: John Rogers found his rhythm, winning the segment in the White lane, just ahead of Dustin Jolley.

    • Segment 9: The Dramatic Finish: The final segment was a heart-stopper. John Rogers drove a clinical race to take the segment win. Meanwhile, Dustin Jolley, pushing his Viper to the absolute limit to close the gap, famously “ran out of fuel” (metaphorically or mechanically) at the most critical moment, settling for 2nd in the segment and 3rd overall.

New Track Records

The May 14 session saw a massive shift in the record books for the SR3 Road Course.

Viper V-SPEC Lite Lexan: Dean Donaldson shattered the previous Viper benchmarks (which were in the 4.2s range) with a jaw-dropping 3.665s lap in Segment 4.

Mega G+ 1.7 Corvette C8: Dustin Jolley set a new class benchmark of 5.844s.

Technical Spotlight: Anomaly or Rocket Ship?

The community is already buzzing about Dean Donaldson’s 3.665s lap in the Viper race. To put this in perspective, the previous records for similar Viper classes rarely dipped below 4.2 seconds.

Interestingly, Trakker Clay also clocked a 3.693s in the same segment. Given that both drivers simultaneously saw a nearly 1-second improvement over their average lap times in Segment 4, it is highly probable that this was a sensor anomaly or a crash/rider situation rather than pure mechanical speed. However, until a track inspection proves otherwise, the record stands as a testament to a very “hot” moment on the Squeeze Lane.
