I was wondering that Gustavo Menezes is not on the list. He did a great job in Europe and on the Supernats, may be the best you have right now...?

Congrats to all the nominees.

Young Driver of the Year: Tristan DeGrand. 2009 FWT KF3 champion, CKI KF3 Champion. These championships required consistency from one event to another. Tristan is an excellent driver and racing student. He is a factor in every race.

Mechanic of the Year: Todd DeGrand. What he lacks in mechanical skill, he makes it up by being a Great Dad and Coach!!!

Team of the Year: J3 Competition. Good Chemistry on this team. When a driver is not having their best day, other drivers are there to provide support even though they compete against each other on the track.
