I personally beleive that the car and driver make a difference. In all forms of racing there is always that driver or car that is one notch above the rest, for example formula-1. They are all really good cars and drivers but Michael Shumacher and Ferrari are a notch above this year. If you look at the results from the Speedline Grand Prix a couple months back and look at lap times you can clearly see that Baker was by far the fastest car, his lap times were about 1/2 a second faster than Cyrul and the nearest competitors in both qualifying and the main. He would of easily won the race but he got a batch of modified engines from Steve O'Donnell that he had problems with. Anyway, he just ran them straight out of the box with no break in and the engines ended up fouling a bunch of plugs in the main. As long as he doesn't break he is my favorite to win. Do you know if Kenji Osaka will be there? If he is he will definately be near the top. Cliff Lett should do well, he's an awesome driver. Later
