Time to pick National Champs...

[Floyd Staggs]

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.

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.

Actually it appears that Slate is out of Nationals. Only 1 points race left. Needs to improve on a second round. Had Noble been 7 rounds he would be tied.

Still going with Burton, he can improve on a first round National loss and has one more divisional as well (Vegas should tell the tale).

Yes Jim, I'm going to have to join you on Burton, because Edmond ruined his chances by bowing out early today in Noble, Jody would have to win and Brad lose in the first rnd of the divisional (not likely for that to happen, Jody could win, but I sincerely doubt Brad will be a rnd 1 r.u.!)...sorry but Brads used up his alloted nationals to improve on, because he's reportedly been to five already (besides, he's won Pomona & Denver, plus r.u.'d at Indy, so even if he could've improved on a national the best he could do is add 11 more pts.!).

The only person who has a real shot to catch Brad, is Leo Glasbrenner (he'd have to win both the 'Vegas nat., & div., and hope Brad doesn't make it to the 1/4's at the div.), however, the most Leo can end the year with 626 pts....advantage Bad Brad!!!

Toby Lang, and Robbie Shaw are still mathematically in it ( as long shots), but again Brad would have to lose in rnd one (div), and Toby would need to win both 'Vegas races to edge past Brad...since Robbie's neither entered in the 'Vegas, or Pomona nat.'s, then he's out of this picture.

As for Super Stock, Ryan's in a great spot, however with A. Lincoln M. entered in both of the last two nat.'s, and only needing to improve on a 2nd rnd div. loss vs Ryan needing to best a 3rd rnd. loss, pretty much it's as though Lincoln just needs to win one additional rnd beyond Ryan, and it's over (from the div.). Furthermore, Lincoln has a national event he can improve on, as long as he makes it to the semi's at the national...advantage A. Lincoln Morehead!

Sal Biondo can rain on their parades, but he has to race the divisional, and he's not entered in either of the nationals, so I question whether he'll be there?

First off I would like to start off and say that Brad is an outstanding driver and has a great chance at winning the championship, but to make a statement that it is highly unlikely for anyone to lose in the first round is a little ridiculous. It isnt like this is the NBA and the number 1 guy has the best record and the guy you play in the first round of the playoff has the worst record. You never know who he is going to get. He could get Edmund, Fletcher, Cummings, anybody in the first round. Again Brad is a great driver but against any of these it is a coin toss. You also forgot about slate who is right now just 10 points out and only needs to win 2 rounds to pick up any points. That is what makes sportsman racing so great. No easy rounds, no gimme's. We just have to wait and see.

I'm going with A.Lincoln Moorehead for s/s National points available 65 Div. points available 65. Also a week of practice at the same track for his best shot the div. race. Go Lincoln D 1 Wolf Pack, old wolf Tim.

Yes, Brian you are right. He can only block at the Nats.
