Ringbrothers, Innovator and the burgandy Chevy II are my choices. It will be a tough call between Innovator and Ring Brothers. Maaaan, that front shot of Innovator is sick. The headlights and the grill.....OMG!!!

Wow! Great group of cars this year. I Never thought I'd say it, but Dragon looks surprisingly subtle in that line up. And the RS Nova It looks a space ship (in the best way possible). No doubt the top five will be one of the best in recent years.

Good luck to all competitors,

Matt

I believe the answer to that is YES. Great paint scheme on that car. RPM and Gerry have to be really pleased.

Just curious here... Is the autocross timed for SMOTY contestants? Does their time carry any weight in competition or is it simply to show that the car is capable? If the time is a factor, the only car known to have any shakedown time is the Ring Brothers.
