NBRA Nationals preditions/ Fantasy picks. :)

[johnml390]

Noticed that someone had started something like this for the APBA nationals. Thought it'd be fun for us to try too. Who do you think the top 3 in each class will be? N, AR, AH, BR, BH, CSH, CR, CMH, M25H, DR, DH, ER, EH, SER, SEH. Ima think on it and get back to it later haha.

It makes a difference whether or not you will be there as a 'driver for hire' and if so, what classes you will be running. Everyone knows that a man would be a fool to pick against you in any heat that you are in. The other guys don't stand a chance if you show up...right John?

[johnml390]

Haha I dunno about all that now. Haha. Every once and awhile I get lucky as a driver. You put anyone in a rig my Dad has involvement with and they are bound to have some success. Lol. My Pops is by far the reason we have done as well as we have.


But back on subject haha. I MAY still be coming. I have 1 more day to find out whether or not i'll be up that way getting my race on. So we will see. Haha. So let's hear the picks whether anyone knows they will be there or not. We know most of the class regulars. I think it'll be the most competitive nationals yet.

Uh oh!!! New speed secrets for Central Marine?

[johnml390]

I want speed secrets!!! Haha.

[Dave M]

Speed Secrets

I want speed secrets!!! Haha.

Squeeze the throttle all the way.


I am defending champ for SEH, however since I am not coming, I am betting if Ralph Shows up, he will give Burt some competition. I kinda hope Burt pulls it out. That way we can stop hearing all the whining from Burt ! hehehe. Kidding Burt. I wish you the best of luck, stay safe and show them the way around.

For all you newbies to NBRA, Burt has the right away, remember that and live by that.

For the rest of the classes, depends on who shows up.

EH - Vanover, or Mac Attack
ER - Mac Attack
DR - Mac Attack
SER - Ralph if he is there. He has beat all the APBA guys before at their own game in Zanesville OH Mod Nat's before, so I know he can do it. He also had the fastest 850CCMH ther as well, and would have won but got caught up in Hunter Grimes rooster and blew over.

2 Cyl stuff, well Rick Miller will win most of it, And Ty Hebert will win one or two.

I want speed secrets!!! Haha.

Well John... if you post your speed secrets first, I'll bet Dudley will post his.

So...?

[oknitro]

Predictions are kind of funny stuff - like thursday could be the end of the world - I think most of the predictions are based on the past. I think a sure bet would be Bert in SEH this year. The rest of my predictions would be based on who I know and race with weekend in and out. SOOOOOOOOO all I can say - maybe Ricky might win most of the 2-cyl classes - But Iam going to there to him all the fight he wants as well as the other 10 drivers behind me. Prediction : "Put the dice in the can , shake them up, and let them fly !!!!" Ladies and gentleman - The greatest show on water is about to happen !!!!

Speed secret number 1: DONT jump the gun. Lol.

I'm gutted to say that I will NOT be coming to Centralia this year. I just have way too much on my plate at the moment. I have some medical needs I need to focus on getting past as well. Hoping to be good for Bryan, TX and the AOF race in Pineville in October. I hope everyone has an awesome time in Centralia. Please keep us who wish we are there in the loop with what's going on.
