John Gordon is a retired club-level racing driver with a Racer Rating of 1,308, placing him in the club racing band. This level encompasses regional and club competition; drivers who hold real competition licences and real results but race primarily against amateur fields rather than professionals. Gordon's career spanned from 2006 to 2022, though his most recent activity in 2022 SCCA Regionals saw him finish well down the field without podium results.[1]
Gordon's competitive focus was NASA club racing, where he made 24 starts between 2009 and 2016 and accumulated 10 wins and 17 podiums in Porsche 996 machinery. He won back-to-back NASA Super Touring 2 championships in 2010 and 2011, establishing himself as the dominant driver in that particular class. His head-to-head record against regular rivals in that series was strong; he finished ahead of Thorpe Logemann in all 13 shared races and defeated Thor Gjerdrum in 12 of their 12 meetings. Against James Wagaman, the 2008 NASA Super Touring 2 champion, Gordon won 12 encounters to 2 losses across 14 shared races. He also raced in PCA Club Racing from 2006 to 2016, recording 3 wins in 10 starts.[2]
