We have like 12 threads going on about Indy so I figure we mix it up a little bit and start the SMACK TALK for NASA Champs thread!

 

As of 9/30, we have 28 cars registered but I know there are a few names that are not on here that are going:

 

Alex Acosta

Todd Buras

Xavier Calderon

Gale Corley

John Davison

Bayani Dia

James Drago

Peter Ensor

Kevin Farrel

Mark Gibbons

James Harrel

Brian Henderson

Jarrett Jones

Trevor McCallion

Robert Noaker

Preston Pardus

Jim Platis

Manny Platis

Tyler Quance

Michael Ross

Mike Rossini

Derek Royal

Christopher Shaffer

Danny Soufi

Danny Steyn

Alan Stubblefield

Carter J White

Keith Williamson

 

Those not registered that I am pretty sure are going:

Chris Haldeman, Selin Rollan, Alex Bolanos, Andrew Von Charbonneau. Who else?

 

Those registered who may not be in attendance?:

Jim Drago and Danny Steyn :P

 

It has already started off the wrong way for me. How dare Danny Soufi take the People's Champ's car number?! Who does he think he is?!  I will have to put a tire mark or two on those numbers!  However, I will change my number to #70 if it is still available because that is easy to do with #10 and is one of John Carter's numbers ... so I am probably going to end up wrecking the whole field with that wushu.

 

My picks:

 

P1: Preston Pardus will be the first to win the NASA Champs and the Runoffs in the same year!

P2: The Peoples Champ losing by 0.001 seconds

P3: Selin Rollan, aka the "Cuban Bottle Rocket"

 

Who y'all got?

Although I will agree that the Sebring majors is usually the most competitive race of the year

I predict an all-Florida podium, and could be any of them. Tribal knowledge is key at Sebring, things like:

 

-knowing which restaurant to go to and which to stay away from (Watering Hole, Don Jose's, etc), and avoiding the one that Davison is currently at in drag

-knowing how to spot a Gibbon's rope-a-dope, which is when you think he is getting drunk, but it is actually you that is drunk (true story)

-how to obtain more Chateau bar drink coupons than actually given

-knowing the Chateau elevator is the slowest in the world and will cause you to be late to grid

-how to draft the people's champion all race then pass him on the last lap

-scoring free Krispy Kreme doughnuts that show up whenever Todd Buras shows up (mmm, they're so good)

-being fooled into thinking you need rains when it's only raining on the grid and pits (or passing on them when it's downpouring and making tower turn a lake)

-not getting stung by a wasp living beneath EVERY electrical hook-up box

 

I'm not gonna pick the top three, but the top 5 and in no particular order:

 

Pardus, Buras, Davison, Rollan, Charbs

You've got to catch him first! Tyler is also #70.

 

 

Looking forward to the event. Not so much the tow.

Jim, you're so washed up and old now at 51, you don't stand a chance!  There are some very nice old people retirement homes right outside of Sebring for you to move in to!
