Congratulations to our newest hero, the 2011 ECIRS Champion Jason Butler. Jason was able to keep the lead in true champion form by winning the 1st race, and stretching out his lead over rivals including two past ECIRS champions Fred Gramby and Keith Burnham. Of course it wasn't that easy for our new champ, who had apparently used up all his tricks, luck, what have you in the first race, and went out in round 1 of the finale against new comer Jim McCabe. But Jason had an angel on his shoulders today, one by the name of Jerry. So while Jason watched helplessly from the sidelines after round 1, old time ECIRS'r Jerry Zotta took out everyone that was below him starting with Celeste in round 2, and then quickly dispatched the #3 contender, Keith Burnham, with no less than a perfect light. With Keith now out, and just in time too as had Keith won that round it would have been his 2nd championship, only one other racer had a chance at glory. Next in the cross hairs of Mr Z was the OG himself, Fred Gramby. Dread Fred had been mowing down the competition all year, and it wasn't going to be easy for Jerry, and Jason new it. But never count out the Z Man, who once again said I own this town, and chopped the tree down leaving Fred with nothing to do but stare at tail lights the whole way down the track. The boards lit up, and so did Jason. Way to go Jerry for a return to the winners circle in the one everyone wants to take, and congrats to Jason on taking the crown after holding off some of the toughest competition and one of the closest finishes of ECIRS history! |
