o- Polesitter ($ 300): Franchitti (6 to 1)
o- Fast Six ($ 100): Franchitti (6 to 1), Dixon (3 to 1), Power (10 to 1), Hunter-Reay (15 to 1), Castroneves (6 to 1), Kimball (10 to 1).
o- Winner ($ 1,000): Power (10 to 1)

Mythoughtsareracing earned $ 1,800 for picking Franchitti for the pole, and $ 1,500 for choosing Hunter-Reay for the Fast Six. NaBUru38 got $ 1,000 for picking Power for the Fast Six. Mythoughtsareracing cashed $ 10,000 for Power's win, whereas NaBUru38 earned $ 1,800 for choosing Franchitti for the podium. Three betters hit top 10 finishers: Mythoughtsareracing got $ 1,000 for Bourdais, NaBUru38 got $ 750 for Wilson, and Teretonga got $ 300 for Franchitti. Finally, Chevrolet's win resulted in Marcostraz and Mythoughtsareracing earning $ 300.

These are the results of the round 13 Sears Points:

1st - Mythoughtsareracing: 1,800 + 1,500 + 10,000 + 0 + 1,000 + 300 = 14,600
2nd - NaBUru38: 0 + 1,000 + 0 + 1,800 + 750 + 0 = 3,550
3rd - Teretonga: 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 300 + 0 = $ 300
4th - Marcostraz: 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 300 = $ 300

Mythoughtsareracing scored another win, this time with a brilliant 10 to 1 hit for the race winner. I hit three of the bets and got a great second place. Teretonga and Marcostraz only got one small bet each, but Teretonga won the tiebreaker for being early.

Standings after round 13:

1st - NaBUru38: $ 38,290
2nd - Marcostraz: $ 35,600
3rd - Mythoughtsareracing: $ 32,100
4th - Beetle: $ 26,390
5th - Canada ALMS fan: $ 9,900

9th - Teretonga: $ 2,200
10th - Gomick: $ 1,600
11th - Eizox: $ 1,200

Wow, I'm leading the earnings! I just can't believe it. But Marcostraz is very close and Mythoughtsareracing has joined the battle for the title.

Baltimore is next in two weeks. Have fun!
