2018 - Chris Laprus Chris started autocrossing with NNJR in 2014. He quickly became a regular, and showed a lot of interest in helping the region. In 2016 he became one of our worker chiefs where he's been a huge asset to the club. He's quickly progressed to being one of the fast drivers in the region. He started out driving a CS BRZ, and moved on to a DS WRX, followed by a BS Evo and in 2018 a AS C5 Z06. When he prepared the Evo for STU in 2017 he quickly became a regular fixture near the top of the results, and finished 5th place in the 2017 driver of the year standings. Chris will be attending the Solo Nationals for the first time this year. |

2019 - Jeff Yatkso
Jeff has been an indispensable asset to the NNJR Solo program the last 25 years he has yet to make the trip out to Lincoln.
Jeff is always at our Solo events to give a helping hand to literally anyone with car issues. He has been a NNJR member for 21 years and has always been involved in Solo program, with a few Pine Barrens Express rallies thrown in for good measure!
Jeff has run many different cars throughout his autocross "career", from the ubiquitous Acura Integra and multiple Honda Civics, to an Autodynamics Formula Vee, to a couple of Honda S2000's, and the ever-popular NA Miata.
More recently, Jeff found a unique path by way of a pair of turbocharged Koreans; first with a Kia Forte 5 and now with a Hyundai Elektra GT Sport, the latter of which Jeff will be competing with (in HS) in Lincoln.
We truly wish Jeff all the best in Lincoln and congratulation on the award.
