🏳️ Tommy Thompson

Tommy Thompson was a competitive amateur racing driver with a Racer Rating of 2,596, placing him in the club racing level; this means he was quick in amateur competition but did not establish himself in professional fields. His record on file spans three seasons from 2008 to 2010, with three starts at the SKUSA SuperNationals, a karting championship. He did not finish on the podium in any of these appearances.[1]

The calibre of drivers Thompson faced at the SuperNationals included several who would go on to establish professional careers; he managed to finish ahead of Memo Gidley, a Bronze-graded sportscar professional and 2023 GT America SRO3 champion, on two occasions, and also beat Bryce Miller, a Silver-graded professional, twice. These results suggest Thompson was competitive against drivers of stronger eventual standing, although his overall SuperNationals record shows limited podium success. His average finishing position across all classified starts was seventh.[2]

Thompson is now retired from racing. The record supplied does not detail his broader career in SCCA Formula Super Vee or USAC Mini-Indy racing mentioned in historical context, and his competition history on file is limited to the SuperNationals appearances documented above.
