🏳️ Cory Pollock

Cory Pollock is a competitive amateur ranked 2,579 in the Elo scale; this is the level of the front of club racing, where genuine competition licenses race in fields that do not typically include full-time professionals. Pollock's record spans two seasons at SKUSA SuperNationals between 2006 and 2008, a period that yielded a single podium finish across two starts. His average finishing position of eighth place reflects limited but consistent participation at this level of karting competition.[1]

Pollock's record includes one-off results against drivers of considerably higher standing. He finished ahead of Dan Wheldon, an established professional rated 5,848 and a driver who competes at the top level of single-seater racing, in one event; he also beat Buddy Rice, a professional-level driver graded FIA Gold by the sportscar and endurance scheme, in a single meeting. Eric Lichtenstein and John Zartarian, both semi-professionals, were also beaten by Pollock in isolated instances. These results represent occasional competitive moments rather than a sustained pattern against stronger fields, and must be read against the context that Pollock's career comprised only two starts across two seasons before retirement.
