Collin Jackson sets a new Runoffs record
Jackson
In the entire history of the SCCA National Championship Runoffs, more than 20,000 drivers have tried to win a championship, and several hundred drivers have succeeded over the years.
But Collin Jackson of Langley, British Columbia, became the first driver in Runoffs history to extend a perfect Runoffs record to four entries and four wins.
"There are so many guys with multiple championships," Jackson says. "Some have thirteen or more. That's way more impressive than just four, but it would be interesting to look it up!"
We looked it up, and 69 drivers have entered once and won their races. Five drivers have entered twice and won twice. Just two drivers, Skip Barber and David Vegher, have entered three times and won all three. Now Collin Jackson is the only driver to have done it four times.
"I've never been about stats," Jackson demurs. "It's always for me about the moment, and the engineering challenge."
Jackson plans to race again next year at the Runoffs at Sonoma Raceway, hopefully extending his record to five entries and five wins.
