Gainesville Hot Pix

Well, I've been trying to post to the site for the past couple days, but having issues with my laptop locking up. I got to head out to the track this morning, so I'll just post the hot pix here. Enjoy.

TAD Low et - 5.289/273
1. Marty Thacker - Former UDRA Champ is always strong. Will he run 5.20's again? The man to beat this weekend.
2. Ashley Force - Car owner/tuner Jerry Darien seems to be getting a handle on the new weight with a 5.33 last weekend. She should be force this weekend, no pun intended.
3. David Wells - Despite the absense of Norm Grimes, look for the Blue Bunny team to be in the thick of things in Gainesville.
4. Jason Cannon - Defending Div. 2 Champ looked strong at opener here, should be a late round player.
5. Michael Gunderson - Struggled at the Divisional here, but one of our spies reported he ran a 5.30 in testing.
6. Mark Hentges - Always finds the 5.30's, this weekend should be no exception.
7. Art Gallant - Hasn't found the consistency that put the 1 on his wing in '02. If he does, look out.
8. Guy Kelly - Ronnie Swearingen tuned machine can run the numbers. Our TAD 'Dark Horse' pick of the week.

TAFC Low - 5.547/260
1. Frank Manzo - We still have a standing policy here at ITA of not betting against Manzo. Still tha man.
2. Jay Payne - Valvoline Thunderslug team was thundering in Houston with a 5.54. Should give the field all they can handle.
3. Bob Newberry - Mr. Consistency won this event last year, would love to do it again.
4. Cy Chesterman - Mr. Lock up clutch knows how to run 5.50's, may need to do it this weekend.
5. Chuck Cheeseman - Defending Div. 3 Champ knows how to win, should mix it up this weekend.
6. Mick Snyder - Mick 'I don't need no stinkin clutch' Snyder raised some eyebrows last year with this Lencodrive mount. Look for him to raise some more this weekend.
7. Jim Sickles - The defending Div. 2 Champ could make it happen this weekend, it wouldn't surprise us.
8. Paul Gill - Just when you think you have it figured out who's going to win, Paul Gill will go and beat everyone. Our TAFC 'Dark Horse' pick of the week.
