Last season results
Sven Howard Common crit 1st
Graham Howard Cone Azaila 4th
Josh Tarrant Dexter 2nd, malliot jaune 3rd, hines 3rd, willow run 4th
Scott Riddle State RR 1st

You have a few guys in there who haven't won races in years. Just seems a little imcomplete

well lets respond to that, we covered the Howard brothers, we just fucked the names up, and called them the Graham brothers..OK we cant get right.. i think? Riddle was lumped in with the WCMR crew, we cant tell any of those guys apart there are SOOOO many, we missed Tarrant..nothing but a slight mind lapse, Jason Brake was cat 3 most of the season, and we didnt want to tread into those waters as of yet, J brake is good and gettin better, time will tell if he deserves the 1-2 list. sorry if we missed those deserving, but as far as guys not winning in a long time, wins aint all that count check the consistency level. war is not won on one battle..

I think you did a great job compiling the lists. Much like last years "Michigan Dirty Dozen".
I think the name of the game is "who's a threat". ie: who are the guys that make everyone twitch, even if they are just standing up to stretch. I remember races when Jason Swiatlowski would stand to fart and you would hear everyone shifting gears.

Now that's a threat!

Bruley, Sheedy, Klien, Docsavage (HeHe), Hamilton, Renkema, Swiatlowski, Adams, Howard(s), Tarrent, Rivera, Archer...all know how to race. They win overalls (STS, Mich), they are in the breaks that count, race smart, and place well, or place riders on their team by giving killer lead outs, or helping them bridge gaps. Key guys.

All for another thread...but there are some killer young guns coming up through the ranks, guys to watch out for...maybe you can post that question!? Make up nick names like "baby-face keomany", or "wish I was old enough to have a birmann"

Jason Swiatlowski yea.....thats awesome! thanks for fuel!
