Robert Perona is a retired amateur racing driver who competed in SCCA club racing between 2020 and 2023. Across four seasons, he made seven starts in SCCA Runoffs and SCCA Majors events, recording three podium finishes but no wins. His average finishing position of fourth across classified races places him in a competitive field of regional club racers.[1]
Perona's most consistent rival was Jonathan Kotyk, a one-time champion whom he faced five times with a split record of two victories and three defeats. Against other frequent competitors such as Joe Colasacco and Tim Kautz, Perona maintained winning records. Most notably, he finished ahead of Misha Goikhberg, an FIA Bronze-graded driver from a significantly stronger professional tier, on two occasions, and also beat several other drivers of national standing including Yuven Sundaramoorthy and Jace Denmark, an FIA Silver-graded driver. These results suggest Perona was competitive at the upper end of his regional field, though his lack of wins and his generally consistent finishing around fourth place indicate he typically competed among the field's frontrunners without dominating. His career concluded after the 2023 SCCA Runoffs season.
