I was just thinking about what driver has made the biggest bang in the shortest amount of time in any division.
An example: Mark Tooker won 17 features and two championships in the Blunderbust division in just two seasons.
What other drivers can you think of who have done something similar or better?

I don't know if it equals what Mark did, but Chuck Steuer has been impressive in Chargers and Mods, winning consistantly in both divisions, and always a threat to win in either. Then there's that "older gentleman" who won a few in the SPT division this year. That was definitely impressive. What was his name again.....? :)

John Fortin won 3 figure 8 titles, moved over to the modifieds and won rookie of the year and when running full seasons has won 2 championships and has not finished out of the top 5 in points. After running his mod for a few years he went back and won on World figure 8 Championship day in Joe Biondillios Srs' older Figure 8 car. John has always put up impressive #'s.

Another one outside of Riverhead was Todd Szegedy, rookie of the year, then Modified Tour Championship in his 2nd year. That is pretty impressive.

Say what you like about the kid but 25 wins in any career is impressive. JR Bertuccio's 25 in such a short time is very impressive. Also Mike Ewantisko has an amazing record at the Head, let's hope he comes back to add to that win total.

How about Justin Bonsignore in the chargers. First year out, he gets 3rd in points and rookie of the year! Way to go Justin!
