The draw is going to be critical for this event. In the previous times it has been used it has been notable that some "mediocre" teams have made it through when drawn against weak teams (by thrashing them).
With Bruce Robertson now on the Alleycats side I'm hoping for a rigged draw to assist our progress.

It's a tough event to predict, especially based on form so far this season. The Pumas will need to improve to win, won't they?
The top 4 from the previous season are always seeded apart from each other, meaning they all meet 2 non-seeded teams the following year and never one of the other 3 seeded teams (until the second night, at least).
But meeting non-seeded teams isn't always as easy as it sounds, as was found in the Superstocks a couple of years back when the Panthers failed to make the top 4 and came back the following season as one of the non-seeds.

Christchurch will come up against Pumas first night, a certain 1NZ tanker wants to square up his account with a Christchurch driver

Im sure it will happen if required, but the team result will be more important I would think.

I'm happy enough with our draw - could have been a lot worse. We will need a decisive win against Stratford to progress.
Have to feel sorry for Rotorua. Drew Manawatu Steelers and the Alleycats at Huntly and now Wellington and the Puma's.
Percy's predicted top 4 Wanganui Vulcans Palmy Puma's Eastern States Titans Auckland Alleycats (Should prob pick the Young Guns but the heart wins)
Dark Horse Qualifier Stratford Stormers

I feel sorry for the Maulers and Raiders. They have Recka Ricco to get past. Especially the maulers, who will face Ricco in the first race of the night. They may not have any cars left after he's done with them!
