Wayne Nonnamaker remembers this season \u2013 \u201cJumping up to Prototypes was quite a challenge for our team.  There was a lot to learn all at once \u2013 while at the same time racing against the best of the best.  To have secured this title in our 1 and only attempt is a very satisfying memory.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Will Nonnamaker shared his thoughts \u2013 \u201cTo achieve 15 titles is\u00a0 really mind blowing. The fact that this achieved over 5 decades is what is the most incredible.\u00a0 Each title holds a special place in the heart of the team for unique reasons. And we look forward to working as a team in the future to pursue our next championship together. We\u00a0 focus each year to get better and better \u2013 and that is our secret to competing at the front.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n
