I disagree you are missing the point, Walters had some competition that year unlike Morrow,to be honest  I think Tim Watson should have won that year, and what about the year before when Walters kicked Gaunts @$$ at Barrie, Flamboro Octoberfest and in the Lucas Cup. Only Barrie fans talk about Gaunt but seriously "what has he won in the last 25 years" compared to Walters.

Ive gotta agree with that one,what has Gaunt won recently. Has there been any other driver win as many different big time races such as the Lucas cup,Alstar Super Series,Autumn colors,Octoberfest or even multiple track championships in one year as Walters in the last ,lets say 10 years. This guy has got to be by far the best or at least most successfull late model driver that i can recall in recent memory.

It's true Like it or not, and most don't like it. Walters is the best and for sure the most successful local short track racer I have seen in the last 20 years. It's true it's true.

Lots of other people have come out of Barrie other than Gaunt...

Maybe everybody forgets about Glenn Watson, Brandon Watson, Gaunt and also Mark Dilley... Yeah Walters is good, and probably the most successful but it's not like Barrie hasn't produced some superstars too. I'm not even getting into current drivers like Baker, Mc Leod and Sheppard...

Just saying that once you get past the Barrie Speedway Gaunt nut huggers you are right the most successful drivers to come out of Barrie in the last 10 years are Walters and Glen Watson and Give Baker kudos for being a real racer he is a past champion and shows up to race anytime anywhere, same with Shepherd past T/C champ who always shows up to race at invitationals etc. I believe that Barrie has better drivers than Sunset at present Barrie's top 5 drivers are really strong in all 3 divisions whether it will stay that way next year remains to be seen.
