The list is in, lets hear it.
The variables of getting lost, seat time at Johnson Valley, proven vehicles, and breakage could easily take out any team.
Top five in no order:
Shannon
Randy Slawson
Team French Horn
Marty Hart
Jason Paulie
Other potentials to form the top 10:
Adam Lunn: Never kept his desert racer together long enough to finsh a desert race, but always did good in rock racing.
Brian Shirley: He has a cool first name. Race the Campbell car.
Casey Currie: Get in a Campbell Ent. buggy and hammer it. He obviously got navigation down.
Dean Bulloch: Good driver, tons of seat time, building a new car. We will see how he works with the car.
Douggie Fresh: Beats his rig like a hooker that stole his wallet.
Jack A: Good car, driver, and tons of seat time. Did very well last year.
Jason Scherer: Awesome new car, good driver, goes to JV often.
Joachim: Consistent.
Doc: FU2 team will do well.
Nick Sessions: Sweet new ride, might scratch the paint a little. Nick has skills.
Nicole Johnson: Teach Frank how to navigate.
Tracy Jordan: Will get the bugs worked out of the car (probably already has) and he obviously knows how to drive.
Other notables:
Tom Wayes: Reweld everything before the trip and jump everyone.
Jack Graef: Everyone will think he is lost, but he knows JV better than most anyone and he will actually just be geocaching to find moonshine and corn. I doubt he will break an axle.
Wyatt: Sleep in the buggy. Drive he buggy to work to get more seat time and practice with the GPS. Prerun at Katemcy. Practice crawling at Clayton for JV rock trails. How will the struts work???
Rusty Bray: Can the shortstar live on the rev limiter for 5 hours?
Stephen Watson: It will be big and heavy, but his rigs take a beating and he also costars on Reno 911.
Derek West: If the car stays together, he runs very consistently.
Bob Roggy: Performs best when hungover.
