This week's race was another hotly contested affair, the same for all 9 events so far this season at Oswego's original, and still largest, dirt karting speedway. Flyin' Flippin' Freddie Collins led most of the race from his pole starting position (holding off a few challenges from Gary Miller) bit was the points leader - The Cerebral Chrusher - Chris Stevens, who battled his way to the front from the back slowly to the front by picking off people one at a time for the win. All this with a case of the flu, hence the races wonderful name. His brother and all-time wins/points/Klassic champion Matt Stevens was racing hard and fast as usual, but lost several positions gambling because the competition is so tight. One mistake can make the difference between 1st and 5th when the racing is this close. Standing out at the end was a fantastic 3-way tie for 3rd place, with Russ Hockey, Kenny Lindsley, and Matt Stevens. Well need to place a 3rd, stationary camera directly on the start/finish line to make the definitive call on those tight finishes.
