Buzzie Reutimann. Need I say more? billy

[JackTripper]

Surely you jest. The answer is clear - Boneman.

Eerrr, ok? Would that be on the strength of my fine second place finish in a 7 car race? Or maybe because of my 4 BIG WINS at the go-kart track. JT, you are a sick, sick dude.

In all seriousness, I suggest VSP driver Travis Staats. He is the defending mini stock champion. Two weeks ago he raced door to door with his dad Charlie for the win. Dad won by a few feet, but Travis came back to win last Saturday.

Yes that was a good race between him and his Dad....I agree my vote is for Travis Staats

[Rick Anges]

My vote goes for Ivedent Lloyd, March 1st he won the race at Golden Isles,and A tough win at Hendry County.

[Egoracing]

Didn't Roger Crouse win at Ocala this past Friday and at Volusia on Saturday? Not a bad weekend!

[Benny The Mule]

I moved from my native fla in 04 and returned for a year in 06 working in Tampa. I'm back in NC now but over the years i could not count the number of races i've seen Rogers in. I currently bench race and complain on message boards. I have a sportsman car on jackstands (on hold) until i can fatten my wallet back up a little. I raced orlando (enduro) Ocala (sportsman,streetstock, hobby stock) Citrus (sportsman, hobbystock) Bronson "used to be" hobbystock, sportsman... probably about 16 yrs ago at bronson. Want to get back in so bad i can't stand it but i have had to budget to benefit my family before i can go back and play. It'll be soon i hope.

Benny

well i hope you get back racing soon. alot of people have had to give up their funtime because of the economy... it will get better.
i think Dave is an awesome driver and also a great guy. i have known dave for several years and he is a gentleman for sure. ive had to give up alot of traveling so im not seeing the SLM drivers unless they come to CCMP... sure do miss them! i cant wait to get back in the swing of things.
sooooooo.... good luck and keep the board alive (lol) and dont forget to listen to our internet radio shows. We have awesome guests !! all the shows are archived so you can listen at your leisure. ciao

I think Maxx Bennett should be driver of the month he won the first 2 races at desoto and finished 2nd the last race.

I see only a few fans had any suggestions on this Driver of the Month Award deal.

What would it take to get your attention if you were (or are) a driver?

We beat this horse to death years ago, but maybe there is still some breath left in it......drivers find it useful to have sponsors.....sponsors like to be talked about.....that's one of the reasons they help drivers by giving them assistance to race... elementary, Dear Watson.

Real Racin USA has a weekly show that reaches a ton of racers, fans and yes, SPONSORS.....It is called Inside Florida Racing. Anyone can be on it, as long as you can speak, and preferably English, though I am sure we can get an interpreter if need be.

If you have one little sponsor now and you promote that little sponsor real hard, such as on realracinusa.com 's INSIDE FLORIDA RACING show, maybe it will turn into a bigger sponsor.

Or maybe you will get noticed by more fans and others and you might be the INSIDE FLORIDA DRIVER OF THE MONTH.

Oh, "so what!" you say..........

Well hold on to your hats, cause there is a monster coming down the track and we WILL get your attention.....GUARANTEED!

Another monthly "spotlight"....

Maybe a track of the month.

[Frasson118]

March, it seems to me, was a tough month to have a "Driver of the Month", as there were MANY rainouts, some tracks not open and/or up to speed with their season. It should get easier from here to pick an outstanding accomplishment.

In my opinion, the winner may not have had a great month, but had a real impressive accomplishment along the way. For example, I don't care if AJ Curelli wins 3 features from the pole (nothing against AJ... this is just an example), but I'm highly impressed with Mike Bresnahan winning from 8th in his first dirt feature.

I don't think "Driver of the Month" should be based on outright wins, nor a popularity contest either.

So, I guess I'm saying I vote for Mike!
