Predict 2009 ECS Corvette Challenge Champion

REDGAR · 11-16-2009, 03:00 PM

This poll will be private so feel free to vote for your favorite.

One race left.
Doubt we will get more than 6 rounds in, we may even only get 5 if there are 17-32 cars so every round counts.

Eric Fischer a two point lead over Rob Farley and Ralph Savarese.

He leads by 5 over Louis Calicchia and Bob Trieschmann. These guys were hurt by the rainout as Eric shows up and basically eliminates them.

Incidentally, Eric would be a first time Champion.

Rob has 2 titles under his belt and Ralph has 3 titles under his belt.

Best of luck to you gentlemen!!!

I don't want to see ANY REDS!!!!!

All three of these guys are excellent racers! I know...been tree & traction fodder to all of them! However...this just might be Mr. Fischer's
year. Of course, this has been one crappy racing season. I would just wonder, how many non-cloudy days have we had this year? That would be a good poll too.

Critical 1st round for all 3. It's a must win for Rob and Ralph. All 3 can go all the way in the event. I wouldn't be surprised to see a first round pairing with #1 and #2 or #1 and #3.

I would think 2&3 should absolutly try to line up against Fisher, if not against themselves. Might not be enough rounds if Fisher goes a couple.

Remember no "Lane Hunting"

Ralph was talking to John Force, asking about blockers... and wanted to use me as a "Blocker" only one problem...

I Can't Win Rounds" So now Ralph is on the hotline to "Jeanne" We all know She CAN get the job done!! No matter who wins it will be a great day of racing.. and if not for the rain an interesting season..

Not counting my "Stellar Performance"

Although I am the winner of 3 count em THREE "Zaino" kits the Oh So Close award...

I'm gonna have the cleanest losing car at RP next yr...

now I am not pointing in any direction but my observations have always been drivers tend to let "others" help before any other strategy

.......Huh???

Wow, as of this moment, no one thinks i have a chance

As i see it: Fischer has been steady all year, Farley has been on a tear in the second half and i've been in a slump since I got my own car back

......so i can understand the poll results. Maybe this will give me some motivation in the unlikely event that it doesn't rain on Sat

LOL...missing the word "help" I think it makes sensse now

Ralph and Rob are great competitors but it time for a new champ. Eric has been a supporter of this series since it began and has always raced at a high level. It would be great to see him become the points champ.

K RIPPER · 11-16-2009, 11:28 PM

In my humble unbiased opinion...I calls 'em as I see's 'em.. Eric has certinally been on a tear...been consistant..comfy in his car..he sure has found his groove..just do what he's done and Saturday could be a very good day.....Rob..ALWAYS dangerous.. un- psyche-able got absoult most seat time he and his car are one,the killer instinct..our resident assassin capable of winning any race any time at any track...Ralph..theres a reason they call him the champ.... has had a not so stellar year..BUT me thinks the champ has found his groove he's figured out his car,gotten used to it and he got something to prove and will bring his "A"game...think about it borrowed cars, breakage and the final race and he's right in the thick of it.Any guy can win but I think Sat. will be a "Ralphie" day.I'll go out on a limb and pedict one or possibly two top guys will bow out first round...then things get interesting...just my opinion...Overheard Bill Jenkins at the summers one year say to a spectator "I'de rather be lucky than good" that still holds true so GOOD LUCK TO ALL!!!

ralphie boy i have faith in u. since pops cant win bring it home for team mahopac

the real champ for 2009.........RAIN

Eric Fischer · 11-17-2009, 10:03 AM

To paraphrase Don Schumaker who stated on Sunday, "it's just another race day at the track...." Yeaaahh Right!

Seriously it will be a very exciting final.

Ralphie is always tough, it doesn't matter what car he is driving, that boy can cut an .010 light at will.

Farley is also dangerous on the tree and with his patented Farley slide can play the top end like no other.

As for myself, Farley and Ralph have won a combined 62.5% of all the championships. I have been telling them all season that they have had their turn, it is time for someone else to win the championship.

INSANITY · 11-17-2009, 11:52 AM

To be honest I would love to see Eric take it home, BUT I think Unk will take ome his 4th Championship... Should be interesting..... If Rob or Eric go out earley rounds its over.. I think Unk is coming ready and will win the event and the Championship....
Next year I will predict Panuzzo... He is putting all the BullSh*t behind and will be the man to watch..

I will be #2... Going back to brackets....
