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

    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.

    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?

    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?

    +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.

    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.

    Rick's (ITR Z3) not going to the ARRC as far as I know. Tim Selby did buy Kip's Miata also, I thought. Kip blew up his 944S at Roebling so I don't know if it is available to him. Mike VS I don't know about.

    I see I was confused. I thought that was Tim in the car at IT Fest since I knew afterwards that it was his, but now I do recall that it was Kip. Well, Tim is a known fast driver, and that is a known fast car, so I stick with the pick.

    If things go just right 9th place is attainable. But....... things have to go right!
    I might have a better chance this year if I make it to grid before 1 to go!

    It really wasn't so bad back at the back last year as those Honda products weren't around to put the squeeze on me going into T1.

    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.

    Dave,

    No ARRC for me. Got to repair/finish the car over the winter. If I went my hope would have been for only 3 cars to show so I could hope for a podium. Looking at the times from last year that Porker S2 was crazy fast..
