My vote goes to Tim Mosbek, in Stock. He's currently sitting 27th with 428 points, but he has 2 national events he can improve on 1st and 2nd rd losses at, plus 3 divisional races left to claim (although time may have run out for him on all three...perhaps he could go to Silver Dollar next weekend, followed by Noble, Ok's Div 4 race, and then wind up his season after hitting the 'Vegas national event by running the final Div 7 race also there, and then off to Pomona...then he could do it!?), with three 3rd rd finishes to improve on! Of all the racers ahead of him, Tim seems to have the most opportunities to erase his 225 point deficit to Anthony & Edmond, and even pass them both...I just wonder if he can make those remaining races to give him the chance...I wish I was in his position, because there's a lot of racers he can pass with some good finishes in those remaining races for him...GO TIM!!!

I'd have liked to see my bud Steve Wann get it, but he used up all of his races, and although Jody has a good chance to pass Anthony, in order to keep Edmond from re-passing him Jody would need to win 'Vegas, and Edmond would have to stumble in those last two divisionals he has (I wouldn't bet money on that happening), but no matter how good either of them do, Tim can still catch/pass both of them, if he runs all of the remaining 5 races he can use to improve his position?

Now as for Super Stock, I'm rooting for either Jimmy DeFrank, Jody Lang or Gary Emmons...however, watch out for Joseph Santangelo II. While Jimmy & Joseph have 3 races they can improve on, Gary has 4...although Gary has 1 more race to claim vs 3 for Jimmy, he also has 63pts to make up to catch Jimmy, so this is a toss-up between those two, with Joseph being the possible fly in the ointment for both??? As for Jody, he has a 3rd ru to improve on, and would need some help to keep him ahead of Jimmy, Gary, or possibly Joseph?

Jody pal, I hope you can pull it off in Super Stock, but you're going to need some help???

This is more fun to watch than football pools, and I won two wknd's ago with a 14-2 record!!!
It's also more interesting than the pros to watch as well...I think, and good luck to all concerned!!!
