Varsha's career on record consists of a single season in the 2006 Star Mazda Championship, where he made ten starts for Racers Edge Motorsports and finished eighth in the final standings with one win and two podium finishes.[1]
Varsha's season took place in a field populated by stronger drivers. He raced against Adrian Carrio, the 2006 Star Mazda champion, whom he outfinished twice in ten meetings but trailed eight times. Against other professional-grade rivals such as Ryan Justice and Mike Potekhen, both rated above 4,100, Varsha finished ahead in four races each but behind in six. His most competitive head-to-head came against John Pew, an FIA Silver graded driver, whom he beat in seven of their ten races.
