Jimmy Lariche is surely a factor but so is Rhett Whatley and Kyle Alberts. And don't rule out Raphael Derome in his freshmen year on jr mens. It is going to be a tight race for sure!!
Don't forget Alex Scagliotti in Junior men's. That kid is throwing down lately. Also look for Tony Carroll to make a good showing. i look for him to hit the podium before the end of the season.
If the lake is blown out like it was this afternoon, Rusty will own it. No one mentioned Ryan Anderson in Jr. men's, player for sure. 10 heats of Jr. mens tomorrow, should be fun.
I pick Alex Scagliotti or Eddie Valdez! Wouldnt mind seeing Sanders or Watkins take pro mens and of corse Dallas for the ladies. Sorry gotta plug the O'brien crew!
Definitely expect wind to be a factor today at least. I live up on the north end of Allatoona and it is pretty windy right now (10-12 mph I think) and it is supposed to stay windy all day. Another factor might be the cold for early morning riders because on top of windy conditions it was also 47 freakin' degrees this morning although it is 59 right now. At least it is supposed to be sunny and get up to 76 and the weekend is supposed to be even warmier with more calm conditions than today.
