Hard not to go with Connole.. He's been on a roll lately at the Southeast Majors, with the results unfortunately not showing how great some of his runs were!

[Mike Collins]

Nick Bruni walks away with it... Not even close....

[Mike Collins]

Ensor and Connole duke it out for the rest of the podium.

[Tom Sager]

Catania for the win.  Anyone from central New York state is a gem. 

[Jim Drago]

Pulling for Atl Speedwerks first... and Jason Cannole second

John Allen because sim racing is the same as real racing! Anyone who can win a sim race can win a real race... I can't get out of the pits on a sim but that's why I can't win many races these days

That may be part of my problem lately as well

[Todd Lamb]

One of our drivers will win for sure!

 

I think there's going to be some great racing all around - excited to see all of these guys battle it out over the season.

 

We're working on some live stream feeds for the races - have 4 cameras lined up. I've been talking to Drago about how he sets his live feed up so we're sure to get some great video. Mainly because we're going to do the exact opposite.

My prediction for the Central Series: Million, Grey, Martin III.

 

Million & Grey are former Teen Mazda Challenge competitors, with Million finishing 3rd overall in the Western States Championships last year.

Martin is a seasoned veteran and has a lot of Global Cup experience. 

 

Best of luck to all those in this series!

Maybe someone can post the central series entrants or a website link?
