Apparently, this race is in danger of being postponed, not run on Thursday though... another week because of the need to move equipment to Homestead. If that's the case, the Diecast contest will be moved to the Homestead race. Regardless, I will be opening the Homestead race for picks sometime today.

Good luck on this diecast race guys :)
I want to change my pics and pic some guys that have no chance, like them guys at the back of the pack, but I want the overall points this year.
I will not mail out the diecast to myself thou when I win (the postal lady would think I am crazy), so dara will have to decide on who or how the win would be played out when I win this race :)

Looks like everyone made their pics except our 'rookie' Oakster :(
