PREDICTIONS!!! FORMULA DRIFT Irwindale October 8-9, 2010

[Jeff Abbott]

Tommy did shred it last year hard!!! I plan to try my best.

@Nerd, John always makes the rolla look bad *Censored**Censored**Censored*..

I say all short wheelbase guys (Abbot, Taka, and Yasu) should call up Tommy Suell

Last year he had the best line for a corolla at irwindale, hadn't seen a corolla whip around irwindale like that since Dmac's USA debut at D1 06.

Hey you number crunchers, post some points race scenarios.

Hey you number crunchers, post some points race scenarios.

For the championship:
JR Controls his own destiny. He's 58 points in front. If he makes top 4, it's locked up. If he qualifies top 5 and makes top 8 it's locked up. If he qualifies mid-pack and makes top 16, it's practically locked up.

Dai has to qualify well (top 3 or 4 positions), and JR has to be knocked out in top 32 for him to win. If he qualifies 1st, there's a longshot chance that he can win if JR qualifies very low and makes it into top 16, but it's very difficult.

Tanner needs to qualify first or second and podium to have a chance.

For Rookie of the year:
Charles is 5 points ahead of Aasbo.

Therefore, if they qualify similarly, it will come down to who goes farther in tandem.

if either one of them qualifies top 10, it gets a bit more tricky, but if 1 drivers goes 1 full round farther in tandem, they will win.

Will falken actually utilize there position as a team this year.

I.E: If Dmac lines up against JR in 32 or 16 will the team consider throwing the round in JRs favor?

I said something like this last year, but the actually championship is on the line this weekend.

Isn't Dai Falken too? Either way that kind of colusion is bs

[Bebop]

Yeah, both are sponsored by falken but on two different teams (ASD/SPD).

Falken has made it clear all season that there are no team orders.

Look at how many Falken vs Falken battles there have been... notice that every time, there's a different winner.

I dont really see a different winner or any sort of a pattern. It looks like all the ASD drivers have a problem facing Dai. All ASD drivers other then JR have one lost to another ASD driver. JR has not lost to any of his ASD Team Mates, but has wins over each one of them once.

If you point is JRs only competition is Dai, point understood and well taken.

Guess falken doesn't need running orders.

[deadpirate]

i say that dai will podium.
tanner hopefully wont
chris is looking AMAZING for this round. super fast on the bank.
kyle mohan is going to be awesome.
nikolay is going to ruin lives
