7 Different brands in the 'A'. People talk/complain that the cars all "look alike". Do the results reflect a parity among the various chassis? Have we reached the point they are 'all the same'?
*Thing that surprised me the most: TIE (pun intended): Tessman going 3/3 @ROAR and not making the A @IFMAR (2w) vs. Rivkin not making the main.
*Thing that surprised me the least: Ryan-Ryan-Jared still at the top.
*Thing I want(ed) to see the most: Where are all the new products and things to make me drool?
*Thing I am anticipating the most for 4w: X-ray. Given their team roster and performances leading-up to the worlds, only putting 1 car in the main (and dead last at that) has to be disappointing. Really looking to see how their team responds in 4w.

After seeing the first few rounds of practice and how difficult the track was for nearly everyone....I would not have put money on Maifield winning. His traditional driving style of punched did not look like it would suit the track. Each time his car hit the track it looked better, him driving with a calm demeanor won this. Knowing it was safer to single single double the left hand side doubles was the right thing to do. How he changed his style to adapt to the conditions was great to watch.

Well xray brung 3 of their best and one made the main, still pretty good odds. The guys that beat them out were no slouches. AE had 3 1/2 cars in (hb franken buggy)
I’m sure serpent was disappoint to see Neumann doing well as a free agent. Shame serpent has no worlds caliber drivers

...lets see..my money is still on Neumann. The Tekno and HB might go well to start with if they re-sugar. As it gets slippy near the end, more weight back will likely be better.... You betting on Phend then I guess with the 22-4?
