October 19, 2011

SpeedZone Magazine picks (Odds) for the CHRR.

This years addition of the CHRR is noticeable for a couple reasons. Firstly, it is the astounding number of new entries of NFCs for the 20th Reunion. Secondly, is the absence of a number of top hitters. Tim Boychuk was entered but apparently the TLD car won't be in attendance this year to to a personal issue with a key member of the team. Peter Gallen would have changed the odds in this deal for sure, but he too will not be in attendance. Mr. Explosive, one of the most visible teams in the class over the last three years is also absent. The "Iceman" Tim Nemeth won't be there. John Powers pulled out early this week and there are rumors that Dennis La Charite and Lee Paul Jennings will also be absent.

For all those who will be absent the new cars for the 2011 CHRR is amazing. Many of the drivers of these new cars are recognizable, as they have run with other teams or in other classes. Even for the lack of a few big name the event this year will be tough. There are a number of 5.60 cars in attendance and the 5.70 and 5.80 cars is almost endless.

That be said SpeedZone will try and put its best prognosticating skills to the test.

The list is a bit different than some odds makers best bets. I have separated first the top eight, as these are are the drivers I expect to go past round one. You notice a couple (at least one), who I would bet some would say are surprises. The top three are no surprise to anyone I would guess, and really all three are pick em's. Romine for his experience, Rupert for flat out being badazz, and for running in the 5.70's in extreme heat last weekend in his Phoenix win. John Hale was flat out fast at a couple events in extreme heat and humidity in the summer. Ron Capps while not in a Plueger car (maybe a good thing as that team did struggle this year), is in a very good Worsham owned and tuned car. How can't they be good? And that is why Chad Head is in the top eight as well. The Jim Head owned car will have an entire plethora of Pro tuners in his corner including the Worsham's and half the Kalitta crew. Mark Hentges in the Hitter tuned car is always a threat but Mark does have to be a little sharper on the tree. Kris Krabill is one of the winningest drivers in the class and has solid people turning the screws, led by Cory Lee.

The top eight (with their best ET for the weekend)

The next four.

This grouping of four could make round two but more than likely they will be the fast losers of round one. Steve Nichols has been absent all season but I don't think it will take Ray Zeller much to get back to their 5.80 performance. James Day is in the 'War Eagle' from what I hear, and he kick ass earlier this year. Steven Densham in the 'Teachers Pet' Camaro is part of the Rupert/ Densham two car team and any of Frank and Jason's info to go along with Gary's will make this oft running car tough. Dennis La Charite went a round or two last year and has a good tuner in his corner (Jon Wurtz)

9. James Day 10-1 (will qualify with a 5.87)
10. Steve Nichols 10-1 (will qualify with a 5.88)
11. Steven Densham 10-1 (will qualify with a 5.91)
12. Dennis La Charite 10-1 (will qualify with a 5.92)

This foursome is just as tough as the one above and they too could be round two bound..... with a little luck.

13. Mike Halstead 11-1 (will qualify with a 5.92)
14. Lee Paul Jennings 12-1 (Will qualify with a 5.93)
15. Claude Lavoie 14-1 (will qualify with a 5.93)
16. Brad Thompson 15-1 (will qualify with a 5.94)

It is really hard to put this next four outside of the field but you do have to pick 16 qualifiers, and the rest are outside looking in, thanks Paul Page. The first two are both 5. second cars but are East Coast based and will not be used to this two session deal. Dwayne Patton has run quick and could be a top 16 car. The same for Roger Garten a real solid running car but he has struggled at times here. Lewis, Young, Konno, Horan and Taylor all have lots of experience via their West Coast heavy schedule or their top notch tuners but they will just fall short in my opinion. But to cover my butt they are all 16-1 shots so technically they could be in the top 16.

17. Jon Capps 16-1 (will run a 5 run it will fall just short)
18. Mike Smith 16-1 (See above for the Smith team)
19. Dwayne Patton 16-1 ((Just outside the field likely a 5.98-6.02)
20. Roger Garten 16-1 (Just outside the field with a high 5.9)

These next four will be close but no cigar......

21. Mike Lewis 16-1
22. Ronny Young 16-1
23. Rian Konno 20-1
24. Dan Horan Jr. 20-1
25. Dennis Taylor 20-1

This next group also has some well known names in it, but again, I can only pick 16 to make the field.

26. Jim Adolph 20-1
27. Ed Dougan20-1
28. Kebin Kinsley 20-1
29. Dale VanGundy 20-1
30. Chris Bennett 20-1
31. Will Martin 20-1
32. Garrett Bateman 20-1
33. Nathan Bugg 20-1

Rounding out the expected field are a couple newcomers and teams that compete mostly for the fun of it with no great expectations just good times.

In No particular Order

34. Steve Rajcic 30-1
35. Rick Rogers 30-1
36. Donald Watkins 30-1
37. Kurt Cruise 30-1
38. Chris Davis 30-1
39. Shawn Nault 30-1

If either of these two show up their odds are posted.
John Powers 12-1
Tim Boychuk 4-1
