My old friend Jimmy the Greek badly missed the over/under at Grattan. Perhaps being a little cautious, he has set the Blackhawk over/under at only 25 cars. With 15 solid leads still left in the driver recruiting pool, I am hoping to blow right through 25. If you are not on this list but should be, please let me know.
