Just a question not trying to start anything(actually making a point)

A decision was made and all tires returned to the organization for impound. Next day, today, we were given only 2 sets (from the 3 we gave last night). So we would have 2 sets for 4 rounds.
During the day it was decided to do another set of qualifier (6th in total but minus one from last day). For this round we were allowed to use ONLY the tires from timed practice from yesterday, as there were the only tires that were used by ALL drives only once

its not better or worse nor easy or difficult
...beyond skill and tyre, car electronics prep is not kind of lucky or unlucky matter, electronic + water is not a good combo..
I dont think current car escs and receivers are really 100% waterproof (splashproof??), maybe some balloon wrap or some plastic case will do the trick..,

What up Mr. Rossi?
Go PEAK/ORION!!!!!
It will be highly disapointing and improbable that a V2 PEAK/ORION does not win.
Just who and what car will be the difference? What is Masami running for Batts? Are there any runtime issues that will creap up in the mains?
Is Marc still running the Mazda? Is he afraid to make a change to the popular body or is that as fast as he can go? I guess the Mains will tell us everything. Let us hope that it is a clean fight and the best fastest driver of the day prevails.
Now that Masami is running Orion he and Rick are my sentimental favorites. Don't know if Rick can drive hard enough to win without crashing like the top 3.
Just don't think Paulie will beat all 3 of the top guys.
With the way Andy drove in 1/12 (didn't know he was that fast in 1/12) he may be the one to beat.

Best of luck to Paul and Jim.
After having a blistering carpet season and great showing at the Nats - it is great to see them in the show at the Worlds.
Go get'em Paulie
