Forum's Own "Pick 'Ems" Indy 500 Race Thread

[Tim Northcutt]

OK....here is how we'll do it....

The DEADLINE is SUNDAY, MAY 30, at 6:01 a.m. (Greenwich Mean Time), which will be one minute after Midnight and officially the first minute of "Race Day Morning" itself in Indianapolis....

Remember, your "Fantasy Five" picks will serve as your "Top Five" for this one...and you can STILL Change those as of right now on the IRL site...

Please pick the following categories:
(Note that I'm Leaving Spaces for You...Copy this list and paste it into your response so that you don't forget to answer something...)


1. The 2004 "Indy 500" Winner (2 pts.)

2. The Top Five: (Please Repeat your "Winner" from #1)
(2 pts for every Driver and Place Correct, 1 pt. for Top 5, but incorrect place)

3. Driver who will Run the Single "Fastest Lap" in the Race (2 pts.)

4. The Actual Speed of that Fastest Lap (2 pts)...
Carry it out to the one-thousandth place like IRL Scoring does:


5. Leader at the following Race Milestones (2 pts. each correct at the actual Milestone):

100 miles (Lap 40):

200 miles (Lap 80):

250 miles (Lap 100):

300 miles (Lap 120):

400 miles (Lap 160):

500 miles (Lap 200):

4. First car out of Race (2 pts.)

5. Best "Mover" of the Race (from slowest starting spot to highest finish): (2 pts.)

6. "Backwards Fall from Grace" in the Race (fron highest starting spot to worst finish): (2 pts.)

TIEBREAKER:

Pick the "Average Speed for the Race" (to the one-thousandth):



NOTE: We had ties last time, but only two of us picked a "Tiebreaker"...Please remember to do so....



We'll do this in the same way as we did the "Pole Thread"...so if you picked the "Race winner in #1, you also will get the 2 points for that name in #2 and again at "500 miles" in #3...please keep them consistent....
