P3 the polska Voytek
Alt henderson

1. Drago --- RA is Jim's house!

2. Pardus

3. Buras

HC: Tyler Brown

1. Drago

2. TY Brown

3. Pardus

Alt. Greenhill

Hard Charger, Mr. Von Charbonneau

Big shout out to all the Northern Conference drivers who have had great qualifying efforts.  6 of the top 12 and several others throughout the pack

These are totally gutless picks, but it's hard to look too far past "Mr. Two-Time" and company:

1. James Dargo (His "home" track . . .)

2. P$ (Just fast, could cost me a very much needed $250)

3. Haldeman (When he is hooked up and fast, he could lap the field)

Alt. Glazed and Confused (He seems to be attracted to the green stuff around this track; otherwise, look out!)

Hard Charger: I'll let you know after qualy. (Can the hard charger pass half the field in the grass on the way to T1?)

Not passing in the grass at turn one, however there is a place to pass before the brake zone into 5 that a really talented driver can pass in the grass and then get the car slowed (see Todd Buras). 

77 cars

I predict an all X-Factor podium

Hard charger will be Justin Oakes by a solid margin
