Steven Lako raced as a competitive amateur in NASA, a national multiclass endurance championship where amateur and semi-professional drivers share the track with graded professionals. He spent 14 seasons in Spec E30, the series' spec BMW E30 class, driving a BMW 325i.[1]
Lako made 132 starts in NASA between 2009 and 2022, taking seven wins and 37 podiums. His most recent season, in 2022, saw him finish 50th in the championship standings with one podium from eight rounds; he has since retired from racing.[2]
Among regular opponents in Spec E30, Lako typically finished ahead of Scott Gress, a developing driver with nearly 280 NASA starts, and ran closely with David Walsh, another developing competitor. His strongest finishes came against drivers racing at a higher level; he beat Dan Goldburg, a professional with extensive IMSA WeatherTech and Prototype Challenge experience, once, and Lance Bergstein, an entry-level professional who has campaigned IMSA Pilot Challenge and GT4 America machinery, twice across their meetings.
