3). And on that subject, look for Tony Schumacher to win it
again. His backer's have $400+ billion to throw around and
that plus Alan Johnson should edge out the Kalittas. I know
Connie's got tall, personal bucks, but not those equal to
the GNP of a third world country.

4.) The price of beer will stay at a mile-high $6.00, but
protests might change that. I know that for a fact, because
we have a demo planned for the opener at Pomona. IHRA will
be exempt because, as I hinted earlier, I'm not sure they
still exist.
5.) The best speed for the sport, Doug Kalitta's 335.57 might
be equaled, but not surpassed. However a 4.40 or dare I say
4.3-second shot, might be in the cards.
6.) David Rampy will win at least two Sportsman titles in
2005. Way to hang my neck out, you say sarcastically? Hey,
I've got to get at least one of these right to retain any
smidgen of dignity here.
7.) No repeat Sportsman champions in 2005. Why? Because "Stone
Cold" C. Bley says so. Just a hunch, really.
8.) In the Bob Dylan-coined "Money Doesn't Talk, It Swears"
Dept. Look for the Top Fuel and Funny Car categories to be
totally dominated by three teams apiece.
9.) Force, whose faced significant challenges in his dozen
year reign what with the Hofmanns, Etchells, Pedregons, and
the "Wrestlers," is up against his most formidable
high flying Worshams. It's not at all out of the question
that Del will take it in 2005. The only question is, will
it be in the shorts or to the bank.
