🏳️ Reid Arnold

Reid Arnold is a retired semi-professional driver with a Racer Rating of 3,005, placing him in the competitive amateur band. This rating describes drivers who typically race in club and regional fields, usually self-funded, and compete against a mix of professionals and amateurs rather than as full-time professionals themselves. Arnold's career on record spans three seasons from 2008 to 2010, during which he accumulated four starts at the SKUSA SuperNationals without recording a win or podium finish. His average finishing position across classified starts was twelfth.[1]

Despite a modest overall record, Arnold occasionally mixed with considerably stronger drivers in his limited racing. He finished ahead of Trent Hindman, a two-time FIA Gold graded champion rated at 4,527, and also beat Scott Hargrove, an FIA Silver graded former champion, and Remo Ruscitti and Guilherme Silva, both established professionals. Against his most frequent rival Kiel Spaulding, a competitive amateur rated 3,322, Arnold finished ahead once but behind him twice across three shared races. The pattern of results suggests that while Arnold competed at the competitive amateur level, occasional stronger entries in his events created opportunities to race against more experienced professionals.
