Default DC Tour - Thoughts, predictions, Smack...let's begin!

Weather could be an issue. Anyone have any thoughts? I'll be there Friday to get the kinks out and see how the surface is. Andy you may be in for it!

I'm batting 1000 on my predictions so far this year.

"Someone will win".

Thank you, thank you. I'll be here all week.

In for what? In for a trophy? In for beating your sorry *** with a tire iron?

BRING IT!

(BTW, you might want to add a person to your "I'm worried" list. My co-driver beat me last week... )

Andy - who re-discovered how good Hoosiers are last Sunday. *sigh*

my magic 8-Ball says........"Probably Not"
will rodney finish in the top 5? ..........."Yes"
will rodney finish first? ................."Hard to Tell"

there you have it. magic 8-Ball never lies. Rodney will be in the top 5, possibly first. The weatherman says 3rd, but what do they know.........

next?

mY OH mY. Conemasher talkin lots-o-trash, gettin going from a grocery getter to a girly car for this one e-vent.

GS at this event should be good for some crowd pleasing entertainment. Hopefully I won't be in 6th place after Saturday, like I was in Toledo. Maybe the surface grip will be a little more predictable.

I'm predicting Kevin Youngers won't win DS. Why? Because he cancelled his entry. Beyond that it's a crapshoot with the weather. All I know is that come rain or shine, I'm going to drive my GUTS out.

-Chris, feeling like contributing something useless to the thread... like most everyone else before

PS- Rob don't mind those two... it's a friend/past co-driver thing If I were in GS I'd be getting ragged/ragging on them too At least both of them are in girly cars and nothing manly like... a Sentra.

SS: A Z06
AS: Evolution, an upset victory by Jim Hall
BS: Pat Salerno finally gives the S2000's something to think about.
CS: A Spyder will take this event
DS: Why is only one person driving an Eagle Talon, it's still the car to beat (maybe it's the driver?)
ES: MR2, duh
FS: Will be won by a woman
GS: Sorry preparedcivic and conemasher, you *still* can't overcome the power of a CRX
HS: A Mini, duh.

Not even gonna try with the rest of the classes...

Hey, if anyone wants it to rain, let me know. All I have to do is wash my car.
I'll be there watching and not caring who wins what because they're all faster than me .

Well, the owner of that little RED CRX told me he wouldn't be at DC; that was the reason he was at Toledo.....I'm just worried about mr. G.od's H.ere Sharp. The thing is, it can be anyone's event in GS. We've all beaten up on each other before enough to know...

Oh, and I'm allowed to make fun of Conemasher. Part of the co-driver contract for the weekend.

Beat him in Ft. Myers. Should have beat him in Toledo if not for a lame cone and worthless 1st 2 runs due to changing grip.

Will beat him this weekend

Don't make me take the Hoosiers off the Celica and show you the meaning of "Ultimate Driving Machine".


Andy - who looks forward to the day when the Sentra is on 4 wheels again...

I'll let Lynne know you were rooting for her.

I heard that Carpenter might not be there, and if he is, not in the GS car.

If the forecast doesn't get better, I'm cancelling. There's no point in driving if I don't have any chance at all (ie., no dirt stockers, unlike the Kozlaks and Strano).

well, we all know sts will most likely be won by a 4th gen civic. but there are some other fast cars out there. i think there will be a celica gt(non-s) in the top 5 driven by someone no one has ever heard of.

Man, oh man...didn't know my "you MAY be in for it" comment would ruffle your feathers so much. And as far as your co-driver beating you.....nevermind And Rob I'm glad you can play....So far I haven't lost to my co-driver at a national event. Just 'cause you win National events or trophy all the time and got fourth at nats last year doesn't mean you can drive....uh, well maybe it does!

Crap, Maybe I'll just stay home and play racing games. The way I drove at Petersburg, I'll be lucky if I can keep from being DFL in HSL in a Z06!!!

My prediction: STS will be dominated by Civics because CRX's can't play there.

May want to take back my previous post. How can we go from a perfect weather forecast to thunder storms all weekend in a matter of hours?

If its dry, I predict that the defending DSP National champ will go home defeated. I also predict an awesome course and margaritas under the AI tent.

the weatherman also says rain for saturday, so that reading nullifies the magic 8 ball's reading... guess i'll have to take that torch to daddio's ball joint again....oops, i have said too much already

Yeah, but by who? Neary, Sheridan, Kriemelmeyer, Aajh?

You do realize you WDCR DSP guys are giving us WDCR CSP guys a complex?

DC has some of the best DSP contenders in the country right now. I'm not saying who will win the tour...that will depend on conage mostly. Any of the names you mentioned could take it if they drive well. Hell, last week at Ripken, Aahj beat my best time by .200 but he had cones. Its going to be an interesting year indeed...

As for CSP, I noticed JayZ's car getting work done...perhaps he will help bring CSP back where they belong?

OK - here's a dark horse for STX - Vince Bly in a Cooper S. New car, looks like its well setup. If Vince keeps his sh*t together expect good things.

If there's a lot of rain I am going to enjoy kicking AWD a$$ in DS (got my Dirt Stockers ready!!) Screw the beauty of All Wheel Drive (haaa haaa)

That's as much smack as I can talk :-)
