Well the winning streak finally ended and I'm loving it. A young gun named Parker Nicklin, who started racing cars at 15 and made it up a couple of steps on the Road to Indy ladder system before the money ran out at 18 years old, came out at the ripe old age of 20 in a Stohr WF1 one liter light-weight motorcycle powered car and gave me a whipping in race 1 at the Buttonwillow Super Tour event last weekend.

The best part is I got to return the favor in race 2 and gave him a spanking right back. Final tally is I qualified on pole with a blistering lap of 1:36.32 which is the all-time fastest lap ever run in SCCA competition at Buttonwillow for configuration #25CW. However, Parker had the fastest laps in both races and of course we split the victories. I talked to Parker and his dad, Steve, quite a bit and hope they continue to come out and race.

In the meantime, enjoy some great racing action: Race 1 video highlights / Race 2 video highlights. Also check out the post race 2 interview here.
