With the first race of the season coming up this weekend who do you think will be finishing in the top three on Sunday in Pro Open?

Here's my prediction:

1. DJ Eckstom/Polaris
2. Tucker Hibbert/Cat
3. Robbie Malinoski/Yamaha
 
I would have to say you nailed that one or flip flapped w/ tucker and dj but you never know! Should be a GREAT race anyway! Wish I could be there! :jump:
 
I am thinking of going to find out, usually I go fri or sat but may have to go on sunday to see the pro open

I think Morgan will be hard to beat, Tucker has alot to prove and yami /Malinoski would LOVE to pull that out of the hat.


my HOPE


1 Malinoski
2 tucker
3 Hibbert

Yamadoo

I think Robbie and Team Yamaha is gonna surprise people. Your Pro Open Podium is going to be...

1) Robbie Malinoski YAM
2) Tucker Hibbert CAT
3) Ross Martin POL

Couple things to think about...Everyone else besides team Yamaha is going to be racing both Pro Open and Stock which brings added fatigue and stress. Malinowski is basically going to have practice, one heat race and the final. The downfall is they will have more track time but at this level I think fatigue is more of an issue.

If it's any consolation I think Blair Morgan will win the Pro Vet class :tg:

Yamadoo, If you decide to go on Sunday pm me and I will get you my cell number...maybe we can hook-up and have a beer while the new stroker dominates the track ;)! I will be there on Sunday for sure possibly even Saturday...depends on what the ladies want to do
 
If he can keep a run together. My prediction is as follows

1st Levi LaValle- Polaris (guy has a crash or win riding style)
2nd "BD" Morgan- Ski-Doo (can count on Mr. Consistant making podium)
3rd Ross Martin - Polaris (showed alot of potential last season)

Robbi Malinoski will be somewhere around 5th unless Team Boss Yamaha has had some serious time to dial the sleds in (if so I'll give him 1st and the rest move down 1 spot). I don't expect them to have the sleds dialed enough to be podium material though for the first two races.

Tucker Hibbert will be right around there(5th or 6th) also until he gets the SnoX rust polished off. Sure he races MotoX in the summer but; the last two years, his finishes at WinterX showed that bikes don't work like a sled.

My guess for the top three are Malinoski, Ross Martin, and Morgan. Hibbert is just getting back into it but he could definately make it into the top three. I think Robbie and the Yamaha will turn a lot of heads. I met Robbie at Nelson's show and he is extremely driven and dedicated. I think he has a great chance.

Go Robbie and Go Yamaha!
