Best Regional Racers

[jlacey]

Ferguson and Milliken, Bailes and Pursley, Rambo and Roberts.......all very good regional drivers. In my opinion, Madden is a national tour driver who has chosen not to travel (either because of money or family) that on an a average night can beat most anyone. The other drivers need an exceptional night to beat up on "the big boys".

Milliken, Bailes and Pursley i dont think have been on the road much or too far from home. Roberts has a few WOO wins in GA and Volusia plus a Lucas Oil win. I could be wrong but I thought Rambo had a couple big wins outside of the Carolinas a few years back. Fergy has run well when he traveled but has run into some back luck. Think it was last year he was running good and for the win at a Lucas show in PA. Roberts has run well everywhere ive seen him, even away from home but same as Fergy has had some rough luck. Had a top 3 car at the world finals last year before he broke. Either way thats a good group of drivers you listed that could probably run with the best with the right backing

In northern California we have legend Larry Damitz, pushing 87 (Eighty-seven), still showing the kids how to do it. Larry runs Limited Late Models now as full blown Super Lates are all but dead out here. Five or six championships in the last five years at a couple of different tracks. His car is older than many of the drivers themself. He's got several wins already this season, including one last weekend with his old hardtop at Antioch. If there's an older driver in any class in America that's even still racing, let alone racing, I'm not aware of it.

Not sure if Red Farmer is still racing, i saw his name pop up a few times in the last couple years. I dont think he runs/ran weekly or anything, just a few races here and there at TST i think
