Donald E Pickering competed in PCA Club Racing between 2004 and 2007, compiling 29 starts across four seasons with 4 wins and 10 podium finishes. He finished P2 in the 2007 season standings after recording 3 wins and 6 podiums in 12 rounds. His rating of 1,318 places him in the club racing band; this represents a driver active in organised regional racing at a level where competition is real but fields do not routinely include professionals.[1]
Pickering's record against his most frequent rivals showed mixed results. He held a winning head-to-head record against Jeffrey Freeman, finishing ahead in 11 of 14 shared races, and against Don Gagne, leading the head-to-head 14 to 10 over 24 races. He also beat Pete Altmann in 9 of 11 encounters. His record against stronger opposition was less consistent; he finished ahead of Jim Walsh on three occasions and Bill Peluchiwski, a 2013 PCA Club Racing GTC5 champion, twice, though he faced both drivers primarily when they held a rating advantage. His average finishing position of P8.7 reflects a mid-field presence in fields of broadly comparable ability.
