Spenser had quite a day at Road Atlanta in the penultimate round of the SBNC season - pole and a win clinched the championship! And since yesterday was his birthday why not add being a Team USA Scholarship winner! What a day!!! Congratulation to a deserving champion.
Felix Serralles is also a Scholarship winner, congrats Felix!!!! Watching a ton of his incar video this past week I can understand the choice, SO smooth, amazing really, he is so easy on the car (a finesse many lack) yet gets amazing speed out of it....beautiful.

Saw this info in an email from Todd - spread the news around to anyone interested
This Friday will be the season finales for THREE Mazda open wheel series; theStar Mazda Championship Presented by Goodyear,the Cooper Tires USF2000 Championship Powered by Mazda, and the BF Goodrich/Skip Barber National Presented by Mazda. The drivers racing here have the potential to make it to the Indy 500, F1, ALMS, NASCAR, and Grand-Am within a few years. This path has been paved by drivers like Marco Andretti, Graham Rahal, Simona DeSivestro, Scott Speed, Michael McDowell, Raphael Matos, Adam Christodoulou, and John Edwards – all of them past participants in one or more of the Mazda series.
Want to meet the 2010 champions? Tune in to http://www.justin.tv/a/mazdausa this Friday (October 1) at 7:30pm (Eastern) to watch the awards ceremony. Each of the series champions will be awarded a Mazda-powered ride in the next level up in 2011.
Lots of worthy competition this year and Spencer drove away from all of them.
As good a person as he is a driver.
Can't wait to see how he and Felix do in England.
Congrats to Barry for his unwavering dedication and support. Nice work dad!

Was sketchy for a bit then stream settled down - but the cameraman was the worst. He had it on auto focus and in a dark room it hunts all the time, so annoying. Set the sucker to manual, go full zoom, focus, done...sheesh, so 101. Then Conor Daly is giving his speech and the camera is bouncing all over the place...wth?
Good ceremony, only 1.5 hrs allotted and they pulled it off. Congrats again to all
