Ric Quinonez is a good friend of mine. We are local to each other and we race at least once per month. He has been driving at an incredible pace this year and he is definitely in the running. He was the 2nd fastest 86 at Nationals last year and the winner of the SD tour this year. He is on the top of my list when I mentioned there were a few drivers I've been following but wasn't mentioning. Even though we are competing, I will be cheering him on and wishing him the best.
Good luck to all

Jonathan,
Thank you for the kind words. What a difference a year makes. Making new friends such as yourself and renewing old friendships like John my
co-driver has been quite an experience. I'm really looking forward to this
years event. One of the best things this year will be bringing a few extra
friends from Fresno for their first time. Just like everyone else Kurt, Kat
and Jimmy will have the time of their lives.
Best of luck to everyone!! Ric Quinonez
