Pretty much a regular
Started strong last year before I fell into a tailspin and shut it down before I evaporated everything. Hopefully will pick up more than a few units this year.
My pick to win a ring is McLaughlin but not playing it because I don’t think +850 is worth it. I don’t have any numbers up for this race but Herta is my pick, but I seriously doubt there would be any value in it either.
Fading Helio is one of my early strategies except for ovals. He was consistently outperformed by his teammate Pags last year. Meyer made no major changes in their organization so will things change? Also he really underperformed in the tests at the Thermal Club a few weeks ago. All things were equal for everyone since no one had ever been there before. Father Time claims us all and an old man’s reflexes are simply not the same. I can attest to that myself.
Another fade angle is rookie Sting Ray. His first year at any step of the ladder in the series has been blah. The second year has always seen a major improvement. Considering he’s with the Foyt team, I expect misery for him. It’s really going to depend on what other rookie they match him up against and whether they juice it to hell.
Rossi— have high expectations for him this year even with the learning curve that goes with changing teams
Herta— this is the year he has to clean up dumbass mistakes. Always blinding fast but when things don’t go his way during a race he inevitably finds a way to just fuck things up. I no longer give him the excuse of being young, bring it home in 6th if that’s how it shakes out for you. IF he can do that, he’ll be a contender for a ring. I’ll ramble more later
