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.

Barrie has better drivers than Sunset??? Okay, maybe in some respects some of the drivers are better BUT Sunset does have a good crop of its own.

Late Model: We have Tom Walters (the whom you rave about), Chris Morrow, Jason Witty, Rob Poole......they kept the racing tight all year, with others, such as Dario Capirchio. Tom's stats have already been discussed but lets not forget that Chris has 7 championships and Jason is doing really good, contending with these experienced vetrans with the fact he's in his third year. Heck, he almost won Autumn Colors last year.

Thunder Car: We've got Herb Walters, proven to be awesome, and Frank Davey, Barrie's 2008 champion. So how is it that the better crop is there when we've got the Barrie champ that beat them all?

Plus you can add Mark Adams and others to this list.

Mini Stock: Doug Butler, Warren Paxton, Paul Geniole Jr. (whose a rookie :O) and others that have kept the racing tight every weekend and Doug is proven to be one of the best by the dominance shown.

Take away Walters and Frank Davies Sunset has very little to offer, Morrow has 7 paper championships coz he had zero competition and please do not make me laugh by mentioning past champ Quesnelle who can't get out of his own way at Barrie.Sunset will be a whole new ball game with hopefully Doucette Beleskey, just need some llm and 4cyl competition.

So I guess Adams, Herbie, Maltese, Britt, Walt, Smith, Holden and Murray are dogs? Take away Doucette and St.Onge and what does BSW really have? I would say the playing field is about the same. JMO

When the invitationals hit Sunset the cream rises to the top and it comes from the Barrie dairy. The only guy we can count on to save our pride is the Stomper.

Larry should buy that car because then he could win and go through the tech shed.

Up until now the routine has been win and get it on the trailer before anyone notices LOL
