yeah, my guy was a little off... i'll fire him on monday

tyler vs dai in 2nd round... hmm...

also, sam vs conrad. the OG supra driver, and the current driver

this is going to be exciting!

JR vs Rutherford should be interesting

and the winner gets Foust in the 2nd round (in all liklihood)

[MonkeySlide]

Conrad is good but I think Sam will come out on top.

I want to see Sam and Tanner go at it

or maybe Dai and Tanner.

That would be sick
