If Fruit is using a good book (as opposed to no book), I might pick it. If this is Zappa's first year running on dual cpus, I might pick it. You had a dual machine in CCT6, but did you run on two cpus or one? I don't remember. >3. Which country has the best chance of winning? USA. Germany has a better top 6 or 8 in this event, no doubt. However, considering realistic contenders, USA's top two are at least equal with any two you pick from Germany. It is close, but I'll give the tie breaker to USA because of better hardware. >5. Which engine in the top 10 has the best chance of finishing in the bottom >half? None. Anyone could finish out of the top 10, but I would be surprised if anyone in the top 10 finished worse than 22nd. >6. Which engine in the bottom half has the best chance of finishing in the top >10? None. Anyone could move up, but I doubt into the top 10. If Jonny was seeded just a few places lower at 23, I would pick Jonny.
