And what's neat-o in ITA is that once Timmy and Jeffy get the bonus for 5 races - a given - it'll be a much-o close-o battle for top dog. As in, just one race/DNF difference...but still DiMinno's to throw away, which he's not-only-recently shown a penchant to do...
Unfortunately, ITS doesn't look so exciting; it's fairly obvious Jeff Harding will score max points and walk the field this year. But look at the run for P2! Had I competed at NHIS in ITS - instead of DP - we'd be right there scruffing for that coveted position <wink>...consistency will be the key to winning the 2008 ITS silver medal, as no one yet is showing that needed trait (except for Harding)...
And ITB? Another good race. Lots of swapping wins, no one dominant dog in that fight. We'll see a good half-dozen fighters in the ring after Pocono, once those 500 points kick in.
And then there's Beetlebaum!
ITC has a lot of potential this year, but it's hard to get a full field to show up at the same time! Six drivers with points, NO ONE with a 500-points-to-show bonus. I gotta wonder what would happen if a couple of guys got serious and decided to show up to all of the remaining events...would it be a cakewalk, or would others follow suit and make it a real race? I shoulda bought that ITC Rabbit...hey, just sayin'...
Shapin' up to be a good year.
