Class Champ Tuesday! This week we’re celebrating AJ Whitaker and his Civic Type R. AJ is your E Street Prepared champ for 2024 and you may remember also our Driver of the Year!
AJ already had a chance to write a caption for his DOTY post so I let ChatGPT generate this one:
“Wow, what an incredible day! Standing here as the winner of the ESP class at this SCCA Autocross event is truly humbling and exciting. This journey has been about so much more than just me—it’s been about the incredible community, the amazing competition, and the support of so many people who’ve made this moment possible.
First and foremost, I want to thank the SCCA and the volunteers who put in countless hours to organize and run these events. Without your dedication, none of us would be here chasing cones and living out our passion for motorsports.
I also want to thank my family and friends for their unwavering support. Whether it was helping me with car prep, cheering me on, or simply understanding my obsession with this sport, you’ve been my rock.
A huge shoutout to my crew, my co-driver (if I have one), and everyone who lent a hand in the paddock. From tire pressures to last-minute adjustments, this win wouldn’t have happened without your help.
Finally, I have to thank my car—our real MVP! The long nights spent tweaking, tuning, and wrenching paid off. Whether it’s roaring down the straights or hugging those corners, it’s been a dream to drive.”
