IMPORTANT NOTE:

Due to her broken hand/wrist, Ana Beatriz will not race at Barber and she will be replaced by Simon Pagenaud.

If you picked her for anything, let me know and name the replacement driver for that pick and I'll change it for you.

Change that to J.R. Hildebrand, please.

[NaBUru38]

Since IndyCar has made it impossible to me to watch the race at home, I will withdraw from this Pick 'Em Up. If there's no news, I'll see you at Indy.

[Tim Northcutt]

I will count your points, NBU, since you did submit them


Sorry I didn't get in, but my computer hookup wnet out on thursday night and it was an external problem from my provider...the technician showed up after the deadline to get me back online.

That's why I didn't list that the contest was closed and haven't done my housekeeping.

marco and Daisy had Poer on the Pole for 2 pts. each

Yannick was closest to the speed: Actua;-115.878 Yannick-115.234

In the Top Six, Daisy had 7 pts. with 3 in correct spots (nice picks!), Yannick had 3 pts. and all others had 4 pts.

No one had Saavedra as slowest

NBU was closest to the slow speed: Actual-113.292 NBU-114.000

No one had Dario for the Just Miss, but Yannick had a top six driver to get 1 pt.

Totals after Quals:

1. Daisy - 11
2. Yannick - 10 pts.
3. NaBUru38 - 6 pts.
(Tie) marcostraz - 6 pts.

Good Luck Tomorrow!

Nice score. But if this becomes a game with 3 players, I'm out as well. That's not fun. I'll wait another round to draw my final conclusion, but with 3 frequent players it's not fun to play.

[Tim Northcutt]

In the Top Five, Daisy had 5 pts, marco 3 pts. and all others 1 pt.

All but NBU had Power leading Most Laps for 2 pts. each

I'm with you on that one Daisy. I told Tim already that I don't frequent this board anymore, and for the past two years I have only signed on here to play the game, but the popularity of this message board seems to be decreasing. It is very sad since I like this pick em as it's very unique, but I am stretched sort of thin with the pick/fantasy games I am involved in.

[Tim Northcutt]

I'll get in this week.. I planned to last week, but a storm took my cable/computer connection out and I didn't have the Comcast guy show up until after the deadline.
