Dan v Dave

I’ve kept track of the “Dan versus Dave” rivalry as Verrington and I have raced each other more times than anyone else we’ve raced.  It seems like we always invite the other along to races or we’ve been interested in many of the same races.  We have been pretty evenly matched over the years.  I started 2018 off with a “win” over Dan getting him by 39 seconds at the Frosty Four in Salem on New Year’s Day.  That was the 292^nd time we’ve raced each other and the breakdown is pretty even with me topping Dan 160 times and Dan finishing ahead of me 132 times.  Oddly 2017 was one of the few years in a long time that either one of us beat the other in every meeting.  I was 9-0 against Dan in 2017.  The last time I beat him in every race in a year was in 2013 but we only met once that year.  Dan beat me in almost every race we did for about a 10 year stretch from 2002-2012, including shutting me out going 10-0 in 2005 and 5-0 in 2004.
