The 2019 AFM Awards Banquet

As I mentioned over here, the 2019 AFM awards banquet took place earlier this month. As always, it was a time to celebrate the victories of the season and for those of us not stepping on stage to accept an award, it was a chance to get a little preseason bench racing in.

All of the women that won an award taking the stage for a photo op.

One of the highlights every year is the distribution of the top ten plates. Numbers 1-5 are given to those that scored the most points in the premier Formula Pacific class, and 6-10 are awarded to those that scored the most points outside of FP.

Jayson Uribe walked away with the #1 plate with #2 going to Wyatt Farris, #3 to Andrew Lee, #4 to Jordan Edginton, and rounding out the top 5 was George Myshlyayev. Club President Berto Wooldridge lived up to his "holeshot" nickname by snagging the #6 plate, with Brandon Crawford, Daniel Riser, Valentin Debise, and Marc Edwards rounding out the top ten.

Carter's@TheTrack Owner Jesse Carter had the honor of presenting Ernie Montague with the President's Award.

It wasn't just the top ten that were celebrated. In total, 216 trophies were handed out for racers, and the club also acknowledged Track Worker of the Year David Grismore, Rider/Worker of the Year Shane Austin, and Outstanding Worker of the Year Glenn Graifman. The president's award was given to Ernie Montague who has been a fixture in the paddock since long before most of the people in the room had even been able to say the word motorcycle. The rest of the award winners can be seen below, novice first and then expert. The total points scored is listed after each rider.

Congratulations to all that walked off with some hardware, and good luck to everyone in 2020!
