What drivers can we expect Saturday?
No Babb
No Pierce
Shirley and Unzicker have it on their schedules.
it will pretty much be local/regional drivers on this one, with WOO & Lucas both running.Feger may be the biggest name showing up.
Definitely a head scratcher. He skips the North/South, and decides on traveling to Batesville, AR (a longer drive than North/South) for the $40K payout. Unless Shannon wins some prelim races and finishes 2nd, he won't clear 10K. Whereas, racing at FALS, he has a much better chance of winning the 10K feature, while not paying out the gas money to travel against top competition (LUCAS)! Goes to show, everyone's rational thinking on here about staying local and regionally makes more sense "money wise" is not necessarily what the drivers are thinking in their process of skipping certain events.
Schlenk, Unzicker, Rich Bell, and Brandon Thirlby are top 4 in points in ALMS. I think they will be at Kankakee on Friday and FALS on Saturday.
I think people are forgetting that Shannon is a Past Champion at the Topless 100... He has always supported the Topless... But don't be surprised if he qualifymies poorly that he doesn't load up and head to Fairbury
The payoff is $40K, $20K, and $10K for the first three spots...
Heard Chris Ferguson made the trip to #FALS for the race this weekend. May end up being a good alternative to the big boys race in Batesville.
Jimmy Mars is headed to #FALS as well. Brandon Thirlby (MI), Ryan Unzicker (IL), Brian Shirley(IL), Jason Feger(IL), kevin Weaver(IL), Chris Ferguson (NC), Rich Bell, and now Jimmy Mars(WI) confirmed. There are many more. Just pointing out the bigger names.ALMS point leader Rusty Schlenk is staying in Ohio.
Mars also has Kankakee on his schedule for tonight...hopefully Kankakee will have a good two groove track tonight instead of the one groove racing that it has been for so long.
