Alliance Autosport continued its strong run in the USF2000 National Class by winning Rounds 3 and 4 at St. Pete and picking up two more podium finishes

COLUMBUS, Ohio - Scott Rettich, 28, of Camden, Ohio, started the weekend off strong by qualifying the No. 71 PDI Communication Systems/Springboro Car Wash entry on the pole for Round 3 of the Peninsula Pipeline Grand Prix of St. Petersburg. Rettich relinquished the lead to his teammate, Ryan Verra, at the start, but after a few laps under caution he was able to move back into the lead and open up a sizeable gap over his next closest competitors in the National Class Presented by SCCA Enterprises. In the process, Rettich was able to run a fast lap just 1.6 seconds slower than the fastest competitor in the faster Championship Class.  In Round 4, Rettich was again able to stay out of trouble and take a comfortable win over second-place finisher James Dayson.  

Verra, of Calgary, Alb., also had a strong start to the weekend, running second fastest in the majority of each official practice session in the National Class. Verra started the No. 25 Capto Scientia/Enemy Sport/ Toshi/Cancer Research Society entry from the third position in Round 3 and had a stellar start avoiding all of the carnage in Turn 1 and moving into the lead.  After a few laps under caution, Verra surrendered the lead to his teammate shortly after the restart.  Unfortunately, on the final lap of the 21-lap race, with second place well in hand, a competitor in the Championship Class bumped Verra into the wall and out of the race.    

“All in all it was a really good weekend for us,” stated Alliance Autosport Team Manager Suren Tchobanian. “Scott was again extremely quick each session and Ryan made big improvements in both speed and consistency since Sebring.  It was very unfortunate that Ryan was knocked out of the race, because I think he would have finished at least second in both races. We are really excited for the next USF2000 Series event, the official test at our home track Mid-Ohio!”
