Connor Zilisch TA Test Day VIR
Thanks to a partnership between my TA2 team Silver Hare Racing and Ken Thwaits & Showtime Motorsports, I was able to spend a day testing a wicked TA car at VIR last week. Over 900 hp and ~ 2850 lbs with plenty of downforce. This car is so fast and so much fun! Thanks to Silver Hare and Showtime for making it happen. This is a clip from a video Showtime produced that covered my test day.

Nashville Grand Prix TA2 Last to 1st!
มุมมอง 967ปีที่แล้ว
In the Nashville Grand Prix on 8/5/23 I had a great drive from last to 1st. A technical infraction forced me to start last despite qualifying 1st. Drove to the front and an accident involving the 2 leaders and a few other well-timed yellows cleared the path for a 1st place podium finish. Also got the fastest lap of the race. Horsepower or driving? I'll let you decide from the in car video. Let ...

Supernats KA100 Sr Final *LAST TO FIRST!*
มุมมอง 347K2 ปีที่แล้ว
This was a crazy one to say the least. In T1 of lap 1 I got spun out, sending me to 44th (last). I drove to 13th doing laps 3 tenths faster than the leaders, then a red flag came out with 8 laps to go. This bunched the field up and gave me a good chance. After the restart, I continued making up places and found myself in the lead on the last lap. I was then crashed which ended my race. Hated fo...
USPKS KA Senior Final (33rd to 4th!)
มุมมอง 19K2 ปีที่แล้ว
I had a broken reed in qualifying and the prefinal and didn't have any straight line speed. Ended up getting into contact with another driver in prefinal with both of us ending up off track and had to start final 33rd (thankfully didn't end up in LCQ like Saturday; drove from 39th to 6th but the Gopro froze so I didn't get video). Made it up to 4th and had good speed with several purple laps bu...

Lost a chain in pre-final and had to start this one in row 21. Made it up to 12th at the finish with the fastest lap but just didn't have time to make it up much further (maybe if it had been raining :) ). Passed around 20 /- karts in the 1st 2 laps.
Spec Miata SCCA Hoosier Super Tour @ VIR (2nd-30th-9th after a first lap crash!)
มุมมอง 4.1K3 ปีที่แล้ว
I started this race 2nd but ended up getting punted accidentally in the first lap and fell back to around 30th but was able to make it back up to 9th in part because so many cars went off track in this race. The track was a little slick and the grass was wet so it was a little hairy but still not so many people should have been wrecking or spinning out. Lots of action for sure in the video. Thi...
SKUSA Winternats NOLA Rd 2 X30 Senior Final (A major dogfight!)
มุมมอง 2.1K3 ปีที่แล้ว
This was a great race where my kart didn't quite have the pace it had earlier in the weekend but I started on pole which allowed me to stay up with the lead pack and battle. I fell back as far as 5th fairly early on but still managed to hang on for the win with some battling back in forth in the last few laps. I felt bad for Hannah Greenemeire (308) who was ahead of me for a bit but ultimately ...

After the first start of the pre-final was waved red due to dangerous track conditions when it started raining and all karts were on slicks, they did a complete restart about 45 minutes later under wet conditions. All karts were on rains. I was lucky because I got wrecked twice in the initial start after starting on pole when competitors hit me and I would have finished near the back had the ra...

In Saturday's pre-final I drove from 9th to 4th but I ended up getting DQ'd for rear width being hair off so I had to start the final last. The kart was hooked up well and had multiple purple laps passing through the field. While I was upset with the DQ and having to start last it made for a really fun race. I drove up to 7th but was scored 6th due to a penalty in front of me. Let me know what ...

    Connor....don't stop racing karts...and find time to run some formula car races. Stay sharp in single seaters. You still have a path to F1. NASCAR is a waste of your talent. It will teach you some very valuable things, because those cars are over weight and under tires...and hard to drive. Your excellent feel for the tires will get even better. But it should not be your ultimate goal. Keep your eye on the top level. That is where you belong. If you ever have the opportunity...run some SF races in Japan.... That is the best prep for F1 right now. There is a reason Lawson went over there for a season.

    No lie, there was a couple times i swear you put it where you hoped they wouldn't be and it paid off. The hole wasn't even there when you threw it in! Too bad about the end though. It got rough at the front. I thought the top 3 took each other out at the white flag and you were home free.

    Love that outside/inside braking move over the "bridge(?)." Few of them you had to pull to the inside to set them up - brilliant. These cars must not allow radios or all the top 10 would have been keen on that move and (tried to) block. Great job, Connor!
