Driver : Jake Latham
Jake has been around the car enthusiast scene since 2000, when he was introduced to SCCA
autocross by a friend with a Subaru Impreza 2.5RS. He was kicked out of the car after only one event,
after beating the more experienced driver in his first autocross ever. Shortly thereafter, he bought a 1998 Audi
A4, and began autocrossing with that.
In order to be free to modify without the worry of street comfort, it wasn't long before Jake bought a
1990 Eclipse GSX to run in SCCA street mod, and took
3rd in his first season of racing. The Eclipse ended up being good enough for a 12.4 @ 112 at the drag strip,
and won the 2002 Colorado DSM track challenge with a 1:16.50 at Second Creek Raceway
Moving up quickly, Jake sold the Eclipse and bought a 1997 C5 Corvette
for ASP and SM2 competition, with which he won the 2004 Rocky Mountain Division SM2 championship.
Jake ran as high as 8th at the 2004 solo nationals before rain put him out of
contention. These days the car is owned by another SCR customer, Mike Feldpusch, which Mike drove to 4th in the
2007 Solo Nationals.
These days, Jake is club racing a Radical Prosport in SCCA
C-Sports Racing. Jake won the 2005 SCCA Time Trials B-Mod championship, the 2007 Rocky Mountain Division D-Sports Racer championship, the 2008
RMDiv C-Sports Racer championship, and the 2009 RMDiv D-Sports Racer championship. Jake holds four class track records,
and the outright lap record at Motorsports Park Hastings, as well as at High Plains Raceway.
Jake is a licensed instructor in the SCCA, and regularly instructs at SCCA and BMW club solo schools,
SCCA PDX, and SCCA Time Trials events.
Jake's daily driver is a 2004.5 A4 1.8T with APR modifications.
