    Default picks

    That looks like a lot more thought was put into it than a certain 'who will win' article writer,
    who picks people that didn't run enought to qualify,
    and people that didn't enter either.............

    and for a follow up, heres a list of what I know/remember in who is in what
    so the wagering can continue,
    maybe based on this discussion, Vegas will release odds soon,

    Of course it's going to rain/and or hail again, about 2:45pm, so your list will get scrambled up John,.....

    Very diverse entry list:

    not official, just what I remember/know, I'll update your info if you post corrections or additions.

    Kautz's car is a work of art. The complete rebuild/redesign is impressive. But... what may make him more competitive will be his own complete rebuild/redesign. He has really gotten serious with the proper diet and insane workout program. He is fitter than he has been in years.

    Reid should be strong, proving you don't need a new chassis. Cooper will be somewhere up front. And, i never count out Scotty's Citation package.

    I think the small tyres and Kent combo still has an edge at Road America.

    I'm really surprised no one has rented a Spectrum from the Capes...

    I believe it is. Borland had to widen the footbox to make it so. Both Cape cars have that mod.

    I believe they would have to run different sidepods then the cars run for the Pro Series to be legal in SCCA.

    I know the Mygales have the issues, I thought the Spectrums had the same Euro spec sidepods on them. There were posts here on Apexspeed back to VIR surrounding them & the Mygales that is why I said I believe they would need to run a different sidepod.
