Default Predict 2009 ARH Pro 8 Shootout Champion

So we are down to one American Racing Headers Pro 8 Shootout Race three racers have a shot at the title, dependent on car count.

1. Michael Conway 156
2. Angelo Valla 114
3. Jay McCardle, Jr. 108

At 20 pts per round, Mike Conway, the 8.50 index champ at Atco, holds a 38 pt lead over Angelo Valla. If we have 4 cars or less, Conway goes out rd 1 and Valla wins the event, Valla wrestles the champhionship from Conway.

If we have 5 cars or more, then that opens the door for McCardle. McCardle will need Conway to go out round 1 and to be one round better than Valla to wrestle the title from both.

Any of the three not showing, makes it a little easier for the others.

Poll is private so vote away.

Just bustin' Wayne. The forecast looks good. I do hope there is a good turnout. I'm put away for the winter and won't be bringing the car out until March.

Sorry Edgar looks to me 156 - 114 is 42 pts
Looks like Conway stages 1st rd and takes another Championship in 2009

We'll see, we just found out that reverse does not work... it never ends. Although the forward gears and trans brake works, go figure.

Either way though, if it comes, it will be light passes, not pro 8 passes.

Either way that car will certainly have some presence at the track and will be sure to draw a crowd.

Wow you got me again but do you?
Yes my math is off but don't forget the difference in qualifying points could even them up or, God forbid, a penalty changes the whole picture

wow i always think i got you but you always have "control" of things and we all lose in the big picture

i was just pointing out the math nothing personal

I assure you Conway will be Champion unless you buy tech cards for everyone again for byeruns towards the 2nd or 3rd points chasers.....

I just hope to see changes for 2010 to give everyone a competitive place to race.
