You just can't count every Track Champoinship in the same catagory

My thinking is the talent used to split at 3 differant Tracks on a Saturday Night :idea:

Look at those names listed! We sure are lucky fans to have been treated to such fine talent week in and week out! :thumbright:

Agreed

I don't see that changing in our future :cheers2:

Kreitz by far not only the 4 championships that he won but also was know as the "outlaw killer" in the 90's with all the WoO wins.

According to Fred's website, he won 208 races from 1990-1999....which averages 20.8 wins per season. Pretty darn good by anyone's standards. He gets my vote.

It has to be Fred Rahmer for me as well. :bdf:

Not one mention of Smith Sr. :naughty:

Clearly was a force to be reckon with until the mid 90's, no matter when or where he showed up!

Took you long enough to chime in :laughing7:

Mr. Excitement for sure along with Lance and Keith. Todd and lance at port during lance's Dyer days was always fun to watch on a saturday night. Then when Lance started to travel away from Port and Keith showed up in the chip car it was always those two back and forth winning every saturday night. Great times!

Fast Freddie is always the man. Lance had a great 90's. Donnie "Jesus" Kreitz had a great run in the 90's as well.

I agree with the earlier post. How fortunate are we as fans to have grown up and still have the chance to watch all of these Hall of Fame drivers on a weekly basis.

Awesome.

Can't include Kauffman when he ran with the Outlaws in 1990 & 1991. 1995 was split between the Outlaws and the All-Stars. 1997 & 1998 was with the All-Stars. Half the decade he was on the road. 1992 he ran Wintermyer #1W, 1993-Weikert #29, 1994-Eshenaur team car (#5K) and again with Weikert (#29), 1996-Scarpitta #59 and Apple #12, 1999-Middleswarth #7. 1990 and 1991 is actually a blur now - I know the Saucier #20 was one of the rides, 1995 was the Fauver #64 and Wahlie #1 with the All-Stars and the Sonner #47 with the Outlaws, 1997 & 1998 was the Warren Johnson #U2 with the All-Stars.

I would probably give the edge to Dewease over Kreitz and Rahmer.

Petit cook 3, Allen Nott 48 were the cars he was in 90 and 91 I think :thinking:

Think he ran the Ron Pack 4 car in the early 90's for a while.

A lot of good racers. But one stands out more than any other.

Selinsgrove Champ in 90 and 91
Susquehanna champ in 90 and 91
Lincoln Champ in 94,97,98, and 99
Williamsgrove Champ 97,98, and 99 11 Total Track Championships

Most wins in a year in Central PA in 1993 had 23, 1995 had 23, 1996 had 21, 1998 had 33, and 1999 had 25

PA Speedweek Championships 92,93,94,95, and 98
Central PA overall Champion 90,91,93,97,98, and 99

208 Total victories in the 90's.

There is not another driver in the 90's with a resume close to this.

They call him FAST FREDDIE RAHMER!! I never really cheered for him...but I respect him for what he has done on the track.
Dewease would be 2nd
Kreitz would be 3rd
