Who will win?

[924Guy]

Well... is it too early to begin speculating??

[spnkzss]

I'm going to be disappointed if a certain black and orange CRX from the WDCR does not win ITA.

[R2 Racing]

Always tough to say, but I'll try....

ITC - It's hard to bet against Vesa, but Chuck can seriously hustle that VW. Will Perry could easily be right there too.
ITB - Could be another Chris vs. Vaughan battle, but any of the A3's could easily join in if they show up. Are the Canadian's coming?
ITA - Who the hell knows? AJ, Moser Jr., Moser Sr.....possibly me? Throw in some more wild cards like Hoppe, Lyman, and Crazy Joe and it should be a great race as always.
ITS - Where's VanSteenburg? Where's Huffmaster? Tim Selby's always real fast in his RX-7 and got a good finish last year. Can Zsolt win in his FWD GSR? I don't know, this one's pretty open.

[lateapex911]

Oh sure, ignore IT-7! LOL.
Anyway, Crazy Joe has blown is good motor and won't be making the trek, so he's a real longshot....

I'd toss Beran Peters name in the hat for my pick in ITB. I think he's going, but that's not confirmed.

As for ITS, didn't an RX-7 driver buy Kip's Miata right there in impound after the IT Fest? Maybe he'll show up?

[KMartin]

Kevin,

No ITR prediction???

Tim Selby did buy Kip's Miata also, I thought.

What?! How did I not know about this?! Tim already had a pretty good ITS car in his RX-7. He finished fourth last year, I believe. I saw he signed up for the ARRC but I didn't pay attention to in what car. Yup, there it is, Yellow '99 Mazda Miata.

So no Joe and no Greg in ITA this year. Is the NEDiv bringing down any ITA cars than?


The Keane's just signed up for ITB in their Accord's.

Jake Gulick is "representin'" NEDiv this year, defending in IT-7.

The rest of are just lame (NARRC-champion Joe), or broken (waving!), or broke (Lawton), or all three...

[924Guy]

I'm definitely going with another Moser, Moser, Nealey train in ITA... and looking forward to watching it!

[trhoppe]

Yea, this one is wide open. I think depending on how luck plays its course out, I think there are 6-7 cars that can win this thing.

Since I'm new at this, and have about 1/100th the racecraft that people like Moser/Ruck/AJ have, my plan is to outqualify everyone and then just block

ITC - Vesa
ITB - Beran if he shows up, as he won't have the Trever/Bowie combo to trip him up
ITS - The other VanSteenburg car? Does Irish Mike every make it out to the ARRC?
ITR - Ricky?

-Tom

[RSTPerformance]

ITA - Moser Jr.
ITB - Beran
ITC - Vesa
ITS - VanSteenburg
ITR - Maynard (Is he going?)
IT7 - Jake

Raymond

Solid picks, but a couple of misses too, LOL.

I will be interested to see how Vaughn does in B, as I don't think he's run there before. I do think Beran has RA experience, (but that's a hunch), and his car handles well, and has some good straight spped, so it will be right up there. Chris S gets a nod as well.

As for S, I don't think, as was pointed out above, that kip will be able to make it. (44 blown motors don't repair themselves quickly, but hey, there's still time, and kips got the knowledge. Mike on the other hand, isn't a fan of the ARRCs, or RA, or something, from the scuttlebutt I've heard over the years, and i'd bet he will probably not attend. Sad, I like him, and he's fast, so I wish he'd go. Will this be a Z year??

But you tripped on yourself on IT-7. Thanks for the nod, but the southern boys have the class and the track wired. I'll just do my best and see where the chips fall.

R. Wow, R is wide open. Too bad Dan Jones won't be going. Ill keep my eye on the entry list.

+1. After the whoopin he put on the MARRS ITA (and most of the ITS for that matter) field this year - not to mention his runs at the IT-Fest & last year's ARRC - he has to be the odds-on favorite. If the Mosers show up it will be close, and I would bet on another all-CRX podium this year.

[shwah]

ITB - I expect Vaughan and Beran to be the ones to beat. With the good balance and good aero and good driving - I pick the 924 as most likely to win. Of course this does not take into account the Canadians, or local talent, simply because I don't know and haven't seen them.

ITS - Tim Selby was silly fast at IT Spectacular, maybe if Rich Walke makes the trip he will factor in.

ITA - any of a half dozen, this will be the race of the weekend to watch IMO.

[JeffYoung]

Spillman or Robertson in S.

[tom_sprecher]

I can tell you who it won't be and that's me.

[GKR_17]

Spillman or Robertson in S.

Thanks for the vote of confidence, but it may not be in the cards for the BMW this year. Ben is currently the only one registered in R, maybe someone else will join in? I hear a lot of the potential top contenders are out for various reasons.

I hear Williams may be in for ITS, he's always a good pick.
