Very impressive group of top talented sprint car drivers from California. Kyle Larson, Corey Day, Carson and Cole Macedo, Rico Abreu, Brad Sweet, Buddy Kofoid, Gio Scelzi, Cory Eliason, Tim Keading and sorry about the ones I didn't mention. You can add to the list.

Logan Seavey who has 13 wins on the season with USAC national sprint car series with 15 races left my money is that he passes the record of 14 wins on single season.
TMEz , Robet Ballou (USAC champion , 12 wins in single season) , Michel Moles , Justin Grant (USAC champion)
Kody Swanson (USAC silver crown master multi champion)
There's a couple more....

I think Seavey's team is the next to make the wing jump.

all the above mentioned and more Dominic Scelzi; Shane Golobic; Carrick x 2; Joel Myers
by far the biggest talent pool is out of California right now and it's not close

Another one to keep an eye on is Dominic Gorden. He's been really hot this year.

Kalib Henry from Sacremento CA. is no slouch either. He's been doing a pretty darn good job in the Running Boxer Farms 101 Winged Sprinter.
I think he should be included in the group of up and coming young California drivers that aren't well known yet.
The older I get the faster I was

Absolutely --- forgot about him as he, like Cole Macedo, Kofoid and many before him, has been running alot in Ohio, but ya Kaleb has been impressive.

18 year old Dominic Gordon impressed me so much during the Skagit Summer Nationals I started a thread for him here. He's the real deal.

Larson is about 10% more HL than Black Jack, Scelzi also has his name on the HL poinys list so-------?
Macedo - WoO
Definitely a good showing by the CA guys.
I liked the direction Sweet went.
Too bad for Rico, that sucked.
How many Knoxville regulars? My count was 5, is that cool too?
Even though I may not know you, I
care what most of you think!

Quick count may be a bit off.
Sweet 30 HL races
Larson 15, Brown 13.
Larson has raced 15% more than Brown and only 50% of the HL series. Glad I used the word "about", !!!!

care what most of you think!

Last time I looked Macri was in the top 20 in points in both Hl & WOO. Who is going to claim him. He had good week, second quick time & points on his qualifying night. Went from 21 to 10 in the feature that night on a track everyone said you could not pass on to lock in 8th overall, finished 5th Sat. and it is like no one knows he was there. He has also been winning long enough to prove he is not a flash in the pan like a lot young guys are.

He identifies as being HL and that's good enough for you.

According to the race fan's rule book, I think he's considered Posse.
