To win the Overall Champs in our region which has so many great drivers is a true achievement; second only to a National Championships I think; congratulations for winning yet another, Tom!

Nice driving to our top two PAX'ers.....

Tom, you were so smooth and blazing fast on that first run, especially compared against Marshall ;)
If I recall, the first run was fast enough for the Win!

I have to give you credit Bill for making Berry family racing work as hard to win a local event as we do trying to win a national championship. It took a 100% effort from the whole team to barely sneak past you.

Kind of you to say, Marshall. But that wasn't sneaking by me; that was an out-in-the-open-in-broad-daylight butt whoopin'! :D

I really felt like I left it all out on the course, which in a way is a good feeling, 'though winning DOES feel better :lol:

less than 8 point difference out of 800 possible points over the year i think qualifies as sneaking by.

btw you scored 93 points yesterday, nearly the exact same margin you and Tom have been trading back and forth all year. It just seems bigger because the course was longer than normal.

It was an education to watch two great drivers in two amazing cars face off. Great stuff from both Tom and Bill. But CASOC is home to the champion. Thanks Tom! :mrgreen:

Fun to watch, for sure! In addition to great driving, I saw great sportsmanship from these two true champions! A great example for us all. Bill and Tom, keep up the good work. :thumbup:

Thanks Bill. You are a great competitor, and you always push me to do my best driving to stay with you at local events. Congrats on a great season, and I look forward to more of the same tough competition next year.

Seniors Rule!

Across the street they had the final event of their SuperSeries Karting Championship. A Master driver (over 40) won by 8 points, the equivalent of ONE PLACE over 11 races of wheel to wheel races.
