My money is Kristen Novak over Drago.

[FTodaro]

That is a suckers bet, Kristin for sure, a repeat from last year.

[Jim Drago]

My money is Kristen Novak over Drago.

 

My money is on Kristen as well! New cars, me and Mid Ohio are not a good mix. You may need to sweeten the odds a little to get any money on Drago! Like 5:1

[Joe (dad) Jordan]

My pick is Hayes from the Left Coast.....Land of flakes and Nuts!  Go Charlie!

[Charlie Hayes]

Going to be awesome to put some faces to the big names back east.

Hey, what happened to combining classes into one run group to make a 12 car field

 

Advanced is coming to play.

 

Good luck Charlie and Jason.

 

Everyone give Kyle room, don't want him crying.

 

Nice field of drivers.

#52, Keith Workman, Mason's brother???

[38bfast]

It is Mid-O, bring an umbrella. Just for those who have not run in the wet there, it is by far the slipperiest track in the country when wet.

[JRHille]

Mike and Kristen Novak will gap the field by 6 seconds.  Drago will break of course. 

The Kristen Novak East Street T shirt will make its way around the paddock

[LarryKing]

 

#52, Keith Workman, Mason's brother???

 

Yep.

[LarryKing]

Podium prediction: M. Novak, Bednarz, Stearns, not necessarily in that order.

55 Pritchard, Meredith Spec Miata 1991 Mazda Miata Justin Pritchard Rally Team Granville, OH

 

Meredith should liven things up a bit.

[38bfast]

Hille, Novak, Williams are my prediction.

[Bench Racer]

Voytek finds the podium.

 

Hille, Novak, Williams, Bednarz, Stearns, Hayes, Voytek, that's a crowd for a 3 spot podium.

Have Fun 

[davew]

Novak is driving well and knows the track. And that Mike guy in #9 might do ok too

 

Dave

[Jim Drago]

Voytek finds the podium.

You mentioned three issues, even if there bull, the me alone makes you a difficult pick. 

I'm really from Missouri (the, show me state).

Mr. Novak did impress me at Blackhawk Farm being it was his first time at the track.   But them so did Mr. Slattery his first time at the Farm.

 

EDIT:

Hot in from the production car site posted by Kevin Ruck.

For those of you who are use to there being a Thursday evening Twilight Test & Tune prior to this event, hosted by the Mid-Ohio School, know that there isn't one this year. Oddly, it's scheduled for Friday night, at the conclusion of our qualifying day. I looked into it, and apparently it was a scheduling problem with the Mid-Ohio school, and someone else had already reserved the track on Thursday before the mistake was realized. So.....I guess if you feel you need more seat time or to check something out on your car, following qualifying on Friday, additional practice sessions will be available that night through the track.
