Homestead Predictions
3/22/2007 4:02 PM

I will be in the house for the Homestead stop but I shall give up my predictions before I head south:

Daytona Prototype:

Brumos RedBull - Like Ganesco/Blackhawk before Mexico, Brumos has been knocking on the door. The car was ungodly quick at Daytona, but for some reason missed on the settup at Mexico. Considering Collucci's brilliance at finding the settup sweet spot with the Fabcar at Homestead, I think that Law and Donahue will be very competitive, and bring home the win. Brumos is overdue. As always, this will be one to remember.

The Brumos drought ends this weekend.

GT

Tafel Racing - Wolf Henzler is the man, and Eric Lux does a good job of keeping them in contention for the win. The GT field is wide open so I'm just giving it up to who I think is the best driver's in the GT field. Everything in GT is real close. I look for the Mazdas to definately be competitive, coming off their Mexico triumph, and don't discount the Pratt and Miller Pontiac GXPR's.

I beg to differ X,

Like my GAFL picks, I like the Suntrust Riley with Mags and Max along with Braun and Max in the Krohn.  Both have some added motivation for lost opportunities last race.

In GT, it's hard to bet against Speedsource with their strong run last year and being a hometown team.  I'll throw in the Farnbacher/Keehn car too, that's a pairing that will stand atop the podium a few times this year.

In my dream of dreams, the Doran will be a contender and have a stong showing.

Please care to note the fastest DP after the first practice. That would be the number 58 RedBull Porsche/Riley piloted by Law and Donohue. NO, this doth not meant that my prediction has come to fruition, but I know the horse can run at Homestead!

Startin' to like myself more all the time!

While I'm at it let's make some podium predictions as well:

DP - 1. Team Brumos RedBull  2. SunTrust Racing 3. Ganassi/Telmex

GT - 1. Tafel Racing  2. SpeedSource 3. Banner Pontiac

In practice #2, 16 DP's all with in 1 second of the fastest time and 10 in GT!  WOW, this one should be good.
