Title: They're OFF!!
Post by: Fuguzzi on September 14, 2023, 12:43:36 PM

Tell me your top 5 speed drivers ever, especially their ability to get one off the gate.
 
These are mine, essentially in order-

Walter Case

George Brennan

Luc Ouellette

Carmine Abbatiello

Rejean Daigneault


*Greg Merton very fast off the gate at Monti - just thought I'd add this.

Is it true that John Gilmore would literally cut your lines to keep a lead but then buy you a beer after the races ended?
