Ted Pelak competed in club racing during the 2022 SCCA Regionals season, placing him in the competitive amateur band of the Racer Rating scale at 1,127. This level describes club and regional racing fields where real competition exists but rarely involves full-time professionals. Pelak's single season produced eight starts with three podium finishes and an average grid position of P4.1, a respectable return for an entry-level competitor.[1]
The fields Pelak raced in included semi-professional drivers of markedly higher rating; most notably Harley Scuffil, who won the 2022 and 2023 SCCA Regionals SMT titles and holds a rating of 2,955. Against Scuffil, Pelak finished behind them in all five shared races, reflecting the gap between their respective levels. Pelak showed more balanced head-to-head records against other regular rivals; he split results evenly with Chris Clarke across six encounters and finished ahead of mid-tier opponents Mical Fountain and Max Schweid once each, though losing the majority of their repeated meetings. His racing career lasted only the 2022 season before retiring.
