A1 predictions

Edited Date/Time 1/4/2013 9:57pm
1) Poto *
2) BamBam
3) Reedy
4) Dunge
5) Bubz *

* Stewart either laps most of the field or crashes trying.. I'm guessing a 5th-10th finish for him after a crash. IF he makes it to the main. If he calms down and rides smart, he could easily finish 1st/2nd.

Barcia may surprise a few a few folks, he's going to be tough. He won't be afraid to run it in on someone, but I don't see him punting anyone to the bleachers.. that would put a huge Friese sized target on his back. I think he's smarter than that.

Reed effortlessly slides back into his old form. Not sure he'll have the fortitude to run at RV/JS pace, but who knows -- he gets better with age! He'll ride smart and won't take too many chances.

Dungey rides smart and won't risk being too aggressive at this first race of the season. He has what it takes to lead a few laps with a good start, but I don't think he has the answers to everyone's questions.

Villopoto rides strong & won't be afraid to push back if challenged. With a good start in the main he could check out because of the competitiveness of the rest of the field. I'd love to see a long, hard fought RV/JS duel.

Alessi may grab some starts and lead a few laps, but he consistently struggles in whoops. Unless he's stepped up his training program during the off season I see a lot of 5th-10th finishes for him. That's where I expect him to finish at A1.

On a good night Grant will have what it takes to run in the top 3, but the deck is stacked this year. He'll have to work hard to get in the top 5 - I don't see him working through this pack, but with a good start he could get a podium. I predict 5th-10th at A1.

Deano - 5th-10th.
Kdub - 5th-10th.
Weimer - 5th - 10th.

Picking up my tickets today! I'd like to see some battling.... Hope Reed does well, and rooting for Cole Seely to repeat from last year and win 250 main-

Millsaps on the zook should also be top 10

Canard 1st! Dont forget about him-

Canard could be a threat - its been a while since he's been on the track so we'll see if he comes prepared at round 1. If he brings his A game it could make things that much more interesting. Would love to see a repeat of Atlanta 90.

I'd bet money that not all of the top guys will be on the line at A1, someone will be on the injury list prior to the season starting.

I'll wait 'til closer to the race to throw out any guesses.

Barcia wins A1, the other big players will be playing it safe to make it through the night and thinking championship.

1. Barcia
2. Canard
3. Dungey (passes poto on the last lap after trailing him the whole race)
4. RV
5. Stewart (this will seem like a loss but he'll be taking it easy and trying to gain momentum without throwing it away)
6. Short
7. Reed
8 Alessi (after a top 3 start)
9. Tickle
10. Wilson
11. Weimer
12. Milsaps
13. Windham
14. Pourcel (if he shows up)
15. Brayton

I think bam bam already has a short leash with everyone. I took rv's comments during the mec as a stern warning. It would be interesting to see how long it is into the season before someone gets retalitorily aggressive with him.

I think Barcia is capable of more than just aggresive passing,
He'll be fine as long as no one tries to show him whats up,
Dude isnt afraid of anyone on/off the track as far as racing goes.
He could possibly be A real contender for the Cship his 1st yr.

Very early but I'll play.

I want to see Grant come out on his JGR Yam again at A1 and beat everyone ala 2009.

What i think will happen. After seeing RV's pace at Monster Energy Cup, I say he is gonna wax everyone. I hope that the other top few can run with him, cos I wanna see some close racing, but RV is looking very fast.
