There’s only two drivers who have a chance at winning the 2008 edition of the Feather Falls Casino Friday Night Points Series, so I’ve got a proposition.
Why don’t we just have Oroville’s Sean Becker and Auburn’s Andy Forsberg race one-on-one?
OK, that wouldn’t be all that exciting. Plus we want to see some of our other favorite drivers. But that’s essentially what tomorrow’s show will be all about.
Forsberg has nine points of breathing room ahead of Becker and that’s surely not enough to last him if something goes bad on the track. But if the two of them do what they’ve been doing all year, consistently finishing in the top 10, Forsberg definitely has the advantage.
Becker’s got a few things working for him, though. He posted the fast time last week in qualifying in record-setting fashion with the fastest lap EVER in the Friday night series and he’s also got four heat victories under his belt this year.
But points mean more than momentum, so Forsberg gets the nod here. I’m looking forward to watching it all, hope you’ll be out there too.
