Todd Pajonas held a rating of 1,090, placing him in the club racing category; this represents a driver competing at the entry level of organised motorsport, typically finishing mid-pack in fields without full professionals. His career ran from 2018 to 2024 across three series, with 58 starts yielding 4 wins and 16 podiums. The bulk of his activity came in PCA Club Racing, where he started 49 times and won twice, though his average finishing position across all his racing was fifth.[1]
Pajonas showed occasional capability against stronger competition. He beat Cem Kent, a semi-professional driver, twice; finished ahead of Donald Ehinger, the 2021 PCA Club Racing F champion, once; and recorded a single victory over Devin Anderson, a professional-level competitor. However, his head-to-head record against his most frequent rivals tells a different story. Against Ken Nielsen, a three-time PCA Club Racing champion, Pajonas won only 4 of 18 shared races. He also struggled consistently against Andrew Giannone and Del Auray, losing eight of nine and nine of ten meetings respectively. His record against Michael Embler, a fellow club-level driver, was more even at 17 wins to 8 losses across 25 races.
Pajonas retired from racing after 2024. His final season in PCA Club Racing saw him finish 25th across two rounds without reaching the podium, marking the end of a seven-year amateur career at club level.
