My thoughts are not quite to Ted Tracey yet,not far to go though
Probably the best driver we ever had here Sleepy Tripp said once
I follow Ted through the traffic in big races because he is the best he had seen then try and work out how to pass him befor the end of the race TRUE STORY

its Pickens -then daylight, that's the gap at the moment.You do not come from rear of the field at Chilli bowl in lap25 to just miss out on 2nd in the closing laps -outstanding display of driving no argument.
Not at all deriding those other names-very talented, but by jeez MP has huge huge talent and big kahoonas

No doubting that dave whatsoever but he has a excellent car under him .
may well be one of the best in the world set up guy in Tim Clarke and that does help a bit for sure
you have to say the best team in NZ

MP has always shown immense talent even way back when he got dispensation run at the springs. 15 yr old from memory. think he won all of his races on opening night lacked consistency and motor problems- until Brett morris from seamount say the potential in him. signed him up.. really since then not taking it away from many other local drivers. just seemed have this intensity incredible race craft. would make him real big star of the future. for guy who has won features up in USA driving not just midgets tq's also!! even finished creditable 6th Belleville nationals. hard see driver at the moment who rarely comes close matching his achievments and sheer speed

Tell ya what tho..... You put 11s Ricky Paul into any one of those fast cars and tell him to drive it like he stile it without worrying about the damage bill....
Then you will see some Kahunas! The man has easily as much talent as Pickens- and then some! Just not the budget to show his incredible abilities.
And that's a fact!

don't matter what car or crew chief- i reckon he has had at least 6 different rides under him this season and guess which end they've been finishing [apart from fence ornaments and the odd blown r rear  ] |
