BDR...My Power Rankings

Sittin' here at home today with a bit of a busted up foot, so I thought I'd do a little somethin' for the Wago blog....This year I really want to stop in here more often and help my boy Jman out with something for his blog, just to give the readers different stuff to read and different things to check out from time to time.

Since my home track is Big Diamond Raceway, and the world knows that, most (but not all, lol)of my entries will be BDR "stuff"....And with the season well underway now, I thought I'd do a little Power Rankings from the track in "God's Country", so here ya go....

SBM
1.Craig Von Dohren (Right now week in and week out that #1C is the fastest car out there, Strunky stole one from him last week)

2.Duane Howard ("The Diamond Cutter" might have had the top spot, but that new #4 Troyer I'll call the "White Ghost", cuz ya barely seen/knew it was out there Fri, he ran last week, isn't close yet to what that "Black Beauty" #4 he's been running up there is when it comes to speed, NOT YET)

3.Doug Manmiller ("The Handler" just keeps doing what he's does, FINISH races. He's the point leader, but needs to get a win to move up in my rankings, and that will probably comes soon, until then I guess, lol)

4.Jeff Strunk ("The X-Factor" has 2 wins now at BDR. He's struggled with some really bad luck early on, the #41 has shown it's fast, and with that performance last Fri night beating CVD and having the place on their feet, he really moved up my rankings after that race.)

5.Billy Pauch Jr ("Sir William" has been doing it "BIG WILLIE STYLE" lately, and IMO thats what Power Rankings are all about. Last 3 races two 3rds and a 5th, before that, strugglin' a bit. Jr has it goin' good right now)

6.John Willman ("The Ultimate Underdog" has been SUPER SUPER SOLID at BDR this year. If not for two mechanical failures, he'd have a top 10 in EVERY RACE, and right now I believe he sits in the 4th spot in the points. A win is coming soon)

7.Rick Laubach ("Scooby" as he's known in these parts, has really struggled the first part of the year in his new ride, the Rea R1. But the last 3 weeks or so, Laubach has really come on and has found himslef in the top 5 most nights. This combo is only getting better)

8.Meme Desantis ("The Temple Tornado" has really had a roller coaster year so far. But he does have a solid win already, and when he finishes, it's in the top 10. Needs the consitency factor)

9.David Van Horn (Here's a guy who was another that when the checkered flag fell, he was bringing it home in a top 10 spot every week. Last Fri night really hurt, as he qualified in 2nd spot in the heat, but a motor issue made him scratch for the night, which dropped him in the points from 4th to around the 7th position. Look for this team to rebound for sure.)

10.Kevin Albert ("Kamikaze" as he's known these days, is BY FAR, the most improved racer at the track this year in the SBM divisons. A couple of 10th's, and now a couple of 6th's place finishes, and that #3A really going good, look for Albert to pick a win off this year before it's all said and done.)

Honorable Mentions

Ryan Godown (Early on was maybe the fastest cars out there, last 3 weeks it's been a DISASTER for this team, but they will rebound and be moving up my rankings FOR SURE. Like I said, it's a "what have ya done for me lately" rankings.)

Gary Hager (Here's a guy who's been solid, sittin' in the top 10 in points all year, just needs that breakout night, and it will happen)

Ray Swinehart ("Suga" has been fast at BDR all year long, but it just seems lately he's running up front, but can't finish. That will change, and Ray will be in VL soon, you can count on that, his night is coming.)
