Time to pick National Champs... - Page 2

Ryans in a great spot that's for sure, however I'd hope (if I was him), that A. Lincoln M. doesn't get to travel southwest from home (plus be gone for these next three wknds...especially the first and last of them), because with him being only 7pts. out of 1st, and having 3 races to improve on (minor for two of his div's), if he can go to Noble & do both Vegas races ( just a 2nd rnd win at either of the div. races, provided Ryan adds no more pts. to his count), then Div. 1's logo will be his national logo!!!

I don't think Ryan is done yet. And I know Leo isn't.

You're right that Ryan isn't done yet, however he needs to win 3rnds (or more) to improve on his worst two divisionals, while A. Lincoln needs to improve on a 1st rnd win and a 2nd rnd win in these last two div.'s.

Leo's chances are very good too, because he can improve on his weakest 2 div.'s and his weakest 1 nat. these next 3wknds. However, Edmond is in a better spot with two divisionals left, and a 72pt. lead over him. However, Bad Brad can make it tough on everyone behind him by either going to Noble, or (most likely) 'Vegas and winning the div. , since he'd block Leo from doing it (provided Edmond, Jody, Rusty, Fletch., or several others don't reel them both in? Advantage Edmond, but with Fletch having 453 and he travels well (wish I could afford to with my own car), plus he has two more div.'s to improve on, it won't be over 'till it's over.

I know Ryan is likely in Noble, but is Leo? He needs to be, because I won't be surprised to see Edmond, Rusty, or Fletch there!!!

We will find out who all is there after 1st rd of qualifying, if it's quit raining.

GarysZ24 · 10-23-2010, 08:23 PM

Well since Ryan towed all the way to Georgia last weekend, I'm willing to bet that he's there. Someday I hope/pray to have such a budget so as to travel like that, because '08 was my best year in Stock to date, and I only finished in a 3-way tie for 29th (31st officially).

Will you be going to 'Vegas with your truck Floyd? If so, then good luck to you...I won't, because my car is in hibernation until next season.

I'm thinking about it but Brian say's that's a tuff race. Maybe one time trial and then eliminations. I don't have a throttle stop so I'd have to adjust with the pedal. I do think it would be fun though I haven't run sst yet. I've been doing d/gas in the heritage series with my 4000 lb pump gas hay hauler. If I can pit with him I'll go. I want to keep tabs on them.
Yes, they are in Noble. I just hope they don't run out of coors light before the race is done.
Rain can sure screw up a race schedule. My son had the finals in his VW association last weekend and we never got on the track. Monday wasn't an option. Hey, shyt happens!
WalMart is going to be very popular tonight.

Yes it is a tuff race, I know I'm bummed that in 2008 I had a good shot of winning the first round, because I planned on running my last time run from Sat. afternoon as my dial, but during the burnout I popped one of my slicks

, so that ruined that race, and the year before I popped another slick during time trials. However, since I grew up racing in Denver, the altitude and the wind speed changes I was pretty used to, I just had crummy luck.

I do think it would be fun though I haven't run sst yet.

I agree that it's fun to race there ('Vegas), and thanks to the new bridge they built in the Hoover Dam, it's going to be much easier (and quicker), to get there from Phoenix!

Yes, they are in Noble. I just hope they don't run out of coors light before the race is done.

That would be a bummer to run out of Coors, but make sure you bring plenty of brats with you, 'cos that's the perfect way to wind down qualifying day!!!

Rain can sure screw up a race schedule.

I know that for sure from racing there back in May of '96...it had rained @ Noble over night and into the morning, however it went away by 9-9:30, so the rest of the race day was able to be successfully run. Good luck with whatever you decide...

Floyd Staggs · 10-24-2010, 08:48 PM

Got 2 weeks to decide. I think the truck is ready to go. Just got to put a little wax on it. Can't go looking dingy.
You have a good one. I gotta wait for the DRC reports tomorrow.

Floyd Staggs · 10-25-2010, 03:50 PM

Moorehead out in rd 1. Ryan out in rd2. No improvement but no change in standings.
Ryan is flyin in stock.

"The Chosen One" Slate made a move to #2 with 1 nats and 1 div. to go.

If he could have gotten within that .001 package of Keith Lynch, he would have been in the lead.
