Fitz's Double Deckertring Victories



It is rare that you get a chance to watch a legend being born.
Sometimes you see that legend for many years before you realize it's greatness.
Mike Fitzlaff is definitely a legend.
There is no doubt he has always been a star and hero of the ISF.
He's won titles and races like no other, except John Shea.
In fact he was the one to consistently battle Shea in the later years, even spoiling his bid for a perfect season in 2009 by being the only driver to beat Shea.
With Shea gone for the last three seasons Fitzlaff's star is left unimpeded to shine and it is obvious for all to see that the legend has been walking among them for several years.

Fitzlaff has won all of the F1 races and all except one LMP races he has entered this season.
The only reason the titles are not his already is he missed two events and so mathematically other drivers are still in the title fights.
I've run out of superlatives to describe these races.
The epic battles of Larry Rotter and Jim Iverson were followed by Shea vs. Fitzlaff.
Now who will step up to challenge Fitzlaff?
That legend could be walking among the drivers in the paddock right now.
We can't see him right now though.
Fitzlaff's star is shining too bright.

Until next time...It's not bad being IN THE PITS!
