Can a kiwi win the overall Americas Cup?

I am now in Lake Placid USA, on Monday the FIBT sliding school begins, then on the following Monday my campaign to be the first Southern Hemisphere athlete to have an overall win in an FIBT race series begins.

I am currently sitting in 2nd place in the Americas Cup, we have two races left of a 6 race series, I won 2 of the previous 4 races. These next two races are the last races of the season and will be on the 2009 World Championship track, so winning here will set me up well for next years world championships.

The good news is I set a new personal here last week, only .95 of a second off the track record.
