Scott Eckert
“You must always strive to be the best, but you must never believe that you are.” – Juan Manuel Fangio
Driving Background:
Scott grew up sliding ATVs around in the Pennsylvania dirt from the age of 6. A move to Washington and a visit to Pacific Raceways for the Northwest Historics reignited his long-held racing dream. He honed his track day skills and joined the PRO3 ranks in 2020. A year later Scott finished 3rd overall in the series with 6 podiums. Humbled by all the drivers who shared their experiences with him, he does his best to pay that forward every time he’s at the track.
Tracks Driven:
Evergreen Raceway, Pacific Raceways, Portland International Raceway, The Ridge Motorsports Park, and Watkins Glen International.
Instructor Experience:
In addition to providing instruction in his professional field as an electrical engineer, Scott has sat in the right seat and instructed many friends at track days over the years. He’s also led instruction sessions and coached sim drivers one-on-one and has helped several of his fellow PRO3 drivers move up the grid. At the track, he’s always learning and trying to share his experience with others.
