2011 This was a great year, but we were plagued with electrical problems and an oil leak on the FP car all year long. Kevin entered 18 races with the two Integras and the two Civics this year and won 9 times. He finished on the Podium 14 times. He has now won a total of 72 races in his 11 years of road racing. Kevin ran two cars at the highly competitive American Road Race of Champions held in November at Road Atlanta.

He DNFed due to a mechanical problem in the ITB Civic while heading for a sure win, but took 2nd in the ITA Integra. In our third year of National racing in our F Production Integra Kevin raced in 9 National races to qualify for the Runoffs. He took five poles, lead in 8 races, and finished with six wins, two 2nds and a 3rd.
