Palm Springs, California - The Masters class, seen by some as the gentlemen of the series, provides a unique level of racing.  Not as aggressive as the Juniors and more conscious about getting up on Monday morning to go to work.  But, if anyone thinks this attitude provides any less competitive racing, think again.  What these fellows lack in aggressiveness they more than make up for in cunning and experience. If you leave a door open 4 or 5 of them will go thru it before you can blink.  When you look at the roster of Masters Drivers you see names that seem like they have been around forever and some of them have.  This is another class that touches all corners of the country.  Leading the way is David Busby, a competitor at both the LAKC and Gatorz RMax Challenges.  A couple of boys from Alabama come in second and third followed by drivers from California, Michigan, Indiana, Florida, New Hampshire and Georgia.  A true national class, that always provides some unique racing.  I should mention that our #6 driver Dave Gildersleeve is the elderly statesman of the group at age 63, but when he puts on the helmet don’t think his age will give you any advantage.

Congratulations to all of the 2010 USRMC Top 10 Masters drivers.
