The Vet B Class is filled with normal guys that work for a living and are paying their own way for the fun of it all. 6 guys from Ohio this year but I don't think any of us are favorites in the class based on our regional finishes, with the best being Opliger's 4th at North Central with Zman in 5th. So none of us are coming in as ones to watch. But I know that with good starts, Zman, Silvers, Opliger, and I can all run inside the top 10 at Loretta's in the Vet B class. I don't know Moist or Conti at all so I can't comment on their speed, but I'll be rooting for them and anyone else from Ohio.
A good battle brewing is the possible battle between Michigan's John Grewe (who is a normal guy) and Doug Dubach in the +45 class. Grewe won the +40 class a few years back and still really hauls the mail (think +40 that still jumps Larocco's leap regularly). He's not been back to Loretta's in the past few years, but I want to see how he stacks up against Dubach who absolutely owned the +45 class last year! In 2009, +45 Dubach Fastest, but got beaten by Walker in +40, who got beat by Johnson in +35, who got beat by Reynard in +25........ each step down in age came another gear in speed and it was amazing to see those guys all battle each other. Unfortunately, no Keith Johnson this year!
