Congratulations to Brett Moffat for being Pro Class Track Champion 2009, Team Firebird. Brett has only been competitive racing since late 2004 and has done a remarkable job. Won some races thru those years, not many, until 2007 and each year since has gotten better. Finished in 5th place every year at Firebird until 2009. In the top 10 at Speedworld finishing in 2008 at 2nd and 10th at SIR in 2007. In 2007 went to Las Vegas and won the low roller Gambler.

This year has been just going rounds. Runner up twice at Firebird. Qualifying by cutting good lights. The last two races were very close with the top six racers. Finally came down to the wire at the last race with Brett as the winner! Brett states “there are a lot of great tuff racers at all the tracks and am truly honored to now be among them as a Track Champion“.
