Jim Plohg is a club-level amateur driver competing in 1,307 rating band, which describes club and regional racing; a real competition licence and real results, but in fields that do not meet professionals. His record spans two seasons from 2021 to 2022, with twelve starts across PCA Club Racing and SCCA Majors without a win or podium finish.[1]
Plohg's competitive context shows a driver at the middle of a club field. His average finishing position of P7.2 places him among peers rather than dominant or struggling; the head-to-head records bear this out. Against Brent Smith, rated 1,645, Plohg won all eight shared races. Against Bruce Toews, rated 1,310 and nearly his equal in strength, he finished ahead seven times in eight meetings. However, this positive record inverts against stronger competition. Daniel Shofner, a 2023 PCA Club Racing SPB champion rated 3,181, beat Plohg all eight times they raced together. Livio Galanti, the 2022 PCA Club Racing SPB champion rated 2,652, finished ahead in all seven shared races. Against Jeff Wilson, the 2024 PCA Club Racing SPB champion rated 3,513, Plohg split their eight meetings four apiece, a creditable showing against a much stronger driver but not a pattern of outperformance.
Plohg's career ended in 2022. The available record does not show him progressing to stronger fields or accumulating results beyond club racing.
