I want to bet that Nate Sparks will do extremely well. Then there is Justin Hille, who races at Mid-O regularly...
Heard lots about this Alex Bolanos dude from Fl....
Derek Whitis with a long eye will surely be in the mix...
Slammin Sammy will make his presence known....

Will Tony Senese continue the tradition?


...and I'm picking AJ Gillum for the SSM title :rolleyes:

Don't count out Stasiowski.

Where are all those Mid-Atlantic SSMs I keep hearing about?

Lots of really good drivers there..
I have raced with Sammy,Sparks, Balanos, Whitis, Williams, Stasioski and Price and a few others. I don't know Hille, but seems very fast. Mid Ohio is definitely a place that favors he home town guys, or at least those with lots of experience.
Hard to pick anyone, but Sammy And Alex are two drivers that always seem to find there way forward.
It will be a great race regardless, good luck to all.

We tried, and actually had 5 entered. But one by one all backed out except Chip Howell and I so it is not a class. Next Year?

As far as predictions for SM, Justin Hille is really fast there so my $ is on him.

Justin is really quick there, but Sparks seems to be on a roll with either the 99 or the 1.6.

Justin is quick and represents our Region well, but also many of the front runners in our NASA and SCCA region are not running. So it should be interesting as there is not that much local talent on the grid. Luck and calling the right set up with the wet/dry conditions will be a key factor. Temps will be way down from when most guys have recently tested so tire pressure and other set up variables will be slightly different. Will be fun to see how it unfolds.

But...since you started it, Charlie...WIN!

They are using race-monitor.com. I could not copy so I could paste it. I was only able to remember the top 5.
I haven't seen anything show up on mylaps yet which is odd, NASA is usually quick to submit them....
