GHIT 0327: \\xa0John Kolesa on AER (American Endurance Racing)

John Kolesa started American Endurance Racing several years ago and Bill had a great time racing with the series at PittRace, so we had to have him on to officially introduce everyone to the series if you are not already familiar with AER.\\xa0 Since starting the series in 2014, AER has assumed a position towards the more competitive/higher performance segment of the amateur endurance racing community.\\xa0 The series was desiring to be more open to different cars and modified cars by having a simpler classing process that uses qualifying times to initially calls cars and then can re-classify cars throughout the weekend if there are drivers with significant range of skills on a team.\\xa0 The top class is an exhibition class that is based on a power to weight basis.\\xa0 The technology that AER uses during the race weekend is among the best we have seen in amateur racing.
