What needs to be said really… Erik Miller and Tom Wayes battling it out on The Wall. Does it get any better than this? Nope, this is pretty amazing right here.
Ok, a few quick words (can’t resist). Dave Cole sent out a letter to all Ultra4 drivers before the kickoff to the 2014 season. In summary, it talked about how the success of Ultra4 depended heavily on drivers committing to the series as a whole, instead of just one or two events for the year. There’s many reasons for this, but one of the biggest (for the fans anyway) is seeing the best of the best, from coast to coast, battle it out. It makes for great racing, pretty simple really. Watching Erik Miller, Tom Wayes, Loren Healy, Derek West, Shannon Campbell, and so on taking on east and west coast terrain is just damn good racing. We had that at Badlands, and all the races in 2014 prior.
As it turns out, drivers read those letters from Dave. That’s a good thing.
