Oooh! I’ll be at OKC in April. Always fun seeing the pros battle on tracks we have been to.
Was it AJ who had that remarkable back to front recently but was DQ for tire? Was that him sort of protesting the tire batch and saying “fook it, I am speed!”?
Pro Shifter is finally looking good as all the stars are coming out for the two regular season championships with USPKS and SKUSA Pro Tour. Got 15-16 this week with AJ, Marijn, Danny, and more all on the list.
X30 Senior has 41 too – but sadly no Garrison or Turney. Got a pretty stacked field otherwise.
Turney will be back for Pro Tour; he’s got some European conflicts that hit through the year and this is one of them. Garrison is on-site but race-to-race due to the SCR team budget.
And yeah, Adakonis looks to be IAME Grands only with maybe a few other surprise showings.
My iRacing cars have the Leinenkugel’s logo on them.
I’m excited to see a good KZ field at USPKS, glad there will be some top guns showing up. X30 will be good as usual, interested to see how De Tulio does on the BirelART. I was thinking Morgatto would be a little more competitive with it but it seems both he and Ramos have been missing just the tiniest bit during the winter series, so curious how the material performs this weekend. And of course what can Deuk do in his return? He was a beast in his last couple full seasons.
Also shoutout to Tommy Andersen returning to the seat in Masters for the first time in years. Former national champion, Grand National winner etc etc. Also former long-term teammate of mine, my accountant, and one of my best buddies. He’s got his dad on the wrenches who is one of the best kart tuners I know. We call him The Oracle. T Andersen could be a dark horse after the rust gets knocked off.
Norberg and De Tullio to the rear for coming in underweight in Qualifying.
Static grids for all 3 Heats today, so both will have to come from the rear 3 times over to try and salvage a decent starting position for the Main tomorrow.
In Shifter, I’d say it’s anyone’s guess as to which of the Big 3 take it home. Formal, Myers, and Kremers all look good.
What’s the general vibe on the format change among drivers in the paddock?
I like this format for national racing. Means no mistakes all weekend and ratchets up the tension a bit. Stressful for a driver but makes the cream rise to the top.
OKC’s scales have been inconsistent in the past. Last year we had a few people caught out in X30 Masters during qualifying, as the scales seemed to fluctuate by 5+ lbs for no good reason.
