Jim and Danny already have all the championships, and one of them may just take it this year  ;-)

With 70+ cars on the grid I would have to says lady luck is going to play a big part in the outcome. At the very least it will be exciting. 

 

IMHO a SM win this year would be the most coveted win of all classes there. Whom ever makes it to the top step will be able to hold his/her head very high.

Lady Luck almost always plays a part in big races. But the winner will still posses great skills, a great car, good set up and help! That being said, I will go out on a limb and say the winner will be driving a NB(2nd gen)car :)

I don't want to come off sounding like a prude but I think that 70+ drivers need to spend a little time before next week thinking about the section of track between the carousel and Canada corner.  Historically speaking (and some not so long ago) we've had a fair amount of trouble in our class in this part of the course.  A number of wrecks and full course yellows.  Over the years I have seen some horrific incidents through this section (If you don't already know there was a death that occurred just past the kink in 1997). I think as a group we can race close and hard and that we can also avoid the big wreck simply by applying a little extra judgement here and there.    

 

I don't know who will win but for sure it will be someone that does a lot of good things throughout the week including navigating this part of the course very well.

With 70 cars I think a better vote is an over under on 4.5 laps of green flag racing.  :devil:

which creates an additional sense of urgency at the start of the race to move to the front before the mayhem starts ...

weather permitting, the 3-5 potential race winners will be  known by 9:10 AM next Tuesday.

The entry list has at least 9-12 possible winners, maybe as many as 14.  An optimist would say 71.  What other class has as many as 6, SRF?

The list of experienced guys with the motor and setup/prep to get the win is about 7 deep. There's another 8 or so wildcards that have a shot at the podium depending on all the usual factors. That's 15 guys fighting for 3 podium spots. It's going to be interesting!

So many guys with a great shot for the win! This is gonna be fun. Personally having a hard time sleeping because Im so pumped....I have always thought the bigger the race the better, and this one is gonna rank at the top. Road America is an awesome venue, and one of my favorite tracks. I am feeling confident about East Street, but this is always a long week. The SE guys are as good as anyone, along with several others. Rambling now, just ready to get to the track. Good luck to ALL!

Well there are two problems with your post... First the small one.. We wont be here in 2103. The second and a far bigger problem is you have no friends, who are you trying to kid?  :banana:
