Exclamation Way to go Parker !!!

Way to go Parker!!!

3 full pages on the Man, the Myth, the Legend......Brian Parker

What a great article and I had no idea that Brian was that involved with the creation/evolution of our sport!

Congrats again Brotha

Parker started out comping Nylints in his backyard. I just missed the boat on those. I met him a little while later when the 2.2 was just beginning to take off. It has been awesome to watch someone with such passion for this hobby. I feel lucky to live near him and have access to his events. Every event brings new fun; dude never stops thinking of ways to make things better. I had a conversation with him last night and he was all giddy about some new ideas he had. Does he ever NOT think of RC crawlers?

Oh yeah, the old 2.2 days were "gettin it". I remember the first time a driver ran a "Gas Gate" and nearly shat himself!

I met Parker at 2010 ECC, awesome guy. I wish we had a Parker here in VA. Much thanks for what you have brought to the sport.

Yep , Parker is a Badass. I could listen to him for hours. His way of course design and planning is second to NO ONE.
The guy is a promotional genius , Axial is lucky to have him.
I am proud to call him my friend.

I first met Parker at Red Rocks #1 ( telling stories in the parking lot that cannot be repeated in an open non NC-17 forum). The funniest, most down to earth, and humble guy I have ever met. I am glad that crawling is getting some great press, and Brian Parker is getting the recognition he has earned. My sparkly hat is off to him.

Nice! Couldn't happen to a better guy!

Glad to see they used the pic from when Axial.Man helped me get my truck back after a nasty roll at the Farmington AWCC event last year.

I just met Parker on Saturday @ the Nats. Absolutely could not have had a better time without him. Honored to be able to say he's my friend.
