Default UPDATE:Winternationals Weekend!!!!

Weather is about 74 deg. and in Round 3 of qualifing "HOT ROD" goes to #1!

The weather should be great and I can't wait for the new season. Post your picks for the three pro classes for this race... lets see who's lucky.

I'll take "Hot Rod" in TF.
"Fast Jack" Beckman in FC
And my favorite driver Dave the "Driver" Connelly in PS

Mike V

Let the predictions begin!!

AA/FD - tough to pick-against an Alan Johnson tuned car, on a good-track, that runs down-hill, in cool temperatures.

AA/FC - Force will be too-busy making sure that Ashley is all-set, and I'm takin' the bronco-buster, Eric Medlin.

P/S - either of the SUMMIT Pontiacs will pick-up where they left-off, but Connolly's teammate might make some noise.

If you want to watch a future superstar... Watch the driving of Spencer Massey in T/A Dragster. This kid can drive! In each race he trees about half the field! Look at last years races and you'll see what I mean. I hope he has a team this year. Last year the car owner was Jene Snow who got into some trouble.

UPDATE: Looking at qualifying names and they may not have a team!

I got 1/2 out-of 3 (either of the SUMMIT Pontiacs ), so I'd be paid $6 million this year, ride the bench, and file for free-agency next year.

Having a good-lookin' woman on the starting-line isn't enough for Greg Anderson:
HE WANTS HIS CHAMPIONSHIP BACK, AND HE WANTS IT BACK NOW!!!!!


P.S. - Dan..... IF you're a good-boy, we'll let you 'buy-back' at the Checker-Shucks-Kragen Nationals @ Phoenix in 2 weeks.

Hey Kenny Bernstein has a good looking woman at the starting line also.. but have you seen what he looks like lately... can you say PRUNE I think he is getting carried away with his plastic surgeon or getting a good discount on face lifts... only problem the last one didn't turn out too good..

IMHO I think Eddie Hill looks better or Chris "The Golden Greek" (wont even try to spell his las name)
