Robert Rux, 2015 and 2016 Board President, took 2nd place in the 2015 racing season.  Robert came in with 845-season points.  His engine blew towards the end of the season, with doubts of completing the end year of racing his team mate John Mustered in the 26-car came through with his back up engine.  It was all about team work.  Mike Clother in the 7-car drove back to Tacoma, from Rochester, early in the morning before the evening race to grab the engine for the 88-team.  So as it turned out, with all the team work, Robert was able to finish the evening of racing and held 2nd place.
