Here are my final predictions for Saturday. A more indepth preview will be found in the program sold on Saturday. I have to say that this was by far the most difficult NCS meet to predict that I have done since 2006. It seems like every race has 2-3 teams that could potentially win. That is not unusual but what is unusual is of any of those teams win, many of them will not seem like upsets.
Looking at the weather report, it looks like the forecast says occasional afternoon rain. Perhaps it might rain after all the races and we will get a better idea in the next couple of days.
