10 Wishes For 2009by Steve "The Wrench" Ratchett
3/23/2009
The 2009 ISF season starts with the Rapids Invitational.
It is a historic season, the 10th one under the ISF banner.
There is a new track at Road Westallica.
Vintage racecars will make their debut on the schedule.
There is even a new website!
With the new website in mind, as my first column, here are ten things I would like to see in 2009:
10. Mark Walczak win a GTP race. He's won in everything else but can't figure out the big horsepower cars.
9. Dean Strom to win a race in any division. Anyone who has won several ARA titles needs at least one win on their ISF resume.
8. The option tire rule in F1 to cause as much consternation on the drivers as it did in 2008.
7. Corey Galbraith to win any ISF event so he can stick it in Walczak's
face for all the verbal abuse heaped upon him by Walczak.
6. Another open bar at the Muskego Grand Prix.
5. Dan Margetta to win a race in GTP. Won't somebody PLEASE give him a fast car?
4. Larry Rotter win the F1 title. He's been close in several seasons. Time for fate to pay up.
3. Everet Kamikawa win the GT title. He dominated with five titles under
the previous rules, and was gipped out of a 6th by rules changes.
To take the first under the new rules seems like some sort of poetic
justice.
2. Once. Just once. An ISF event would be attended by four Dallas Cowboy cheerleaders in their uniforms.
1. Hot nachos at both events at the Lack Track
I'm not a great prognosticator, however I'd say there is a good chance
of 9 of these 10 things coming true. If hot nachos are served at Lack
track events I'd be perfect!
Until later it's not bad being in the pits!
