James Ray is a developing amateur competitor who raced in NASA, a national multiclass championship in which up to 15 classes share the track. He drove Ford Mustangs, piloting cars in the CMC2 and Spec Iron classes, which run American pony cars with limited to no modification. His career on record spans from 2010 to 2016, with nine starts across that period.[1]
Ray won five races from his nine starts and took six podiums overall. He typically finished ahead of developing rivals Peter Urbanski and Tim Gray, both regular opponents in NASA. He beat semi-professional Scott McKay once and competitive amateur Robin Burnett once in their meetings.[2]
Ray raced primarily in a field of amateurs and semi-professionals competing in the same multiclass races. His record of five wins from nine starts places him among the stronger finishers in that company, though his limited race count and retirement in 2016 means his career remained brief.
