LLM the top 15

Guest · 2009-09-30T05:33:50Z

This is my list of who to watch out for heading into Fall Colors 2009 in this class.. No bias meant or intended!!LOL#1 The Man, The Myth, The Legend, The Icon..... "Stompin Tom" Walters.. Quite simply the best there ever is/was/ or ever will be. The Bradford resident has a list of accompishments larger than my rap sheet!!LOL 26 titles and 3 time winner of Flammy's Oktoberfest, as well as defending champ in this event. His Barrie titles in 05-06 wont long be forgotten in the record books either, considering he beat the best guys around at that time ( Gaunt, Tim Watson, Baker, and Ian Bourque)#2 Gordie Shepherd - (could be the best combo of car/driver) Qualified 3rd at the "Chase for Colors".. The 2009 Barrie champ will be tough to beat. You'll be guaranteed he'll drive you clean every step of the way. Has a 2003 Barrie Thunder title to back up the resume, has progressed every year one step further amongst the best field of LLM in the province at Barrie.#3 Dwight Brown - ( simply dominant in everything he drives).. 2008 Mosport champ is one of the best. If he's even close to being on his game for AC 2009 dont count out a photo shoot in Victory Lane for the Beeton resident.#4 Dwayne Baker - ( 2007 Barrie champ is only driving a Super Late for AC this year)#5 Chris Morrow- (2007-08 Sunset champ has been absent from this event 2-3 years running.) Not likely to appear... Is a former 2 time champ of this event in the Challenger division in the early part of the decade..#6 Keith McLeod - another no show this season for the AC event with the car for sale, but a dandy driver and class act. 2008 Barrie champ has one of the best cars around.#7 Jason McLellan- (former Hooters Pro Cup driver is a 2 time and defending Varney Champ). Quite possible he appears. Wins outside of Varney would only further etch his place amongst the province's best.#8 Jason Parker- (willingness to travel bodes well for the former Sauble champion).. A top 5 runner wherever he goes. Tough as nails to boot.... on or off track....LOL Needs to learn passive/aggressive driving style a little bit further to realize full potential#9 Al Inglis- 3rd in points at Barrie, and several good runs at Sunset figures well for the "Red Rocket".. If theres a smoother, more consistent driver in LLM in this province??? SHOW HIM TO ME!!!#10 Dan Kimmerly- The 2009 Mosport champ has also made a name for himself driving a FULL LM, and could be very much in contention for this one. If in the 2007 KD champoinship Donaldson car???.... Raise him up a few spots for sure#11 Amanda Conolly- Couldn't leave out one of my favs... Immesily talented behind the wheel, patience is what she must learn to advance a level. I'd look for a stellar run from the 2009 Pete champ. Make no mistake this is one gal that should not be taken lightly, whatever track you put her on.#12 Jason Witty- just lost out in this event last year, has a brighter future than anyone currently occupying this class in the not to distant future. 2nd in points at "That Place" in 09 somewhat enhances his racing accumen, but like Walters not willing to run against the best week in week out..LOL#13 Vic Parsons- grizzled veteran was the first and only Canadian to record a top 10 in Daytona 500 in Mid 70's..Make no mistake, not a pushover.#14 Dario Caprichio- Former ALSTAR driver was robbed of a podium in this event last year, Fourth in points at "Field Filler Speedway" in 2009 a top 5 is very much in the realm of possibility.LOL#15 Tyler Williams - one of the best, most consistent guys you might not of heard so much about.. The car /driver combo much like Shepherd could put this long time Sauble veteran in the running.. 50/50 he appears though

Tony's car had a bent front clip from a race at Sunset about 3 weeks ago, I don't know if it's fixed yet.

Yes agreed Tony T is always strong at Peterborough.. Not to mention that same car won back to back years in 2006-07 in the hands of Shawn McWhirter.. Another former champion that just might make some noise is the 43 of Darin Malcolm if he chooses to race.

Guess I should also add Sauble's #1 Dan Wright to the list of honorable mentions. Two time winner of AC in the Thunder class who also recorded a top 10 in 2007, his first time on the track in a LLM
