Tim Northcutt · 23 Jun 2006, 16:07 (Ref:1639866)

Contest is Closed for Richmond...

Tim Northcutt · 23 Jun 2006, 18:01 (Ref:1639918)

Contest Note:

In case the race is shortened due to rain and does not go the full 250 laps, here is how I have scored the milestones section:

Let's say that the race goes 162 laps and Wheldon is declared the winner...

Anyone who lists him as the leader on lap 200 and Lap 250 will get credit for having him as the leader at those milestones, since he will have won the race...

If the event would go the Minimum number of laps to be a "complete" race (126) and Wheldon wins, anyone who has him listed at laps 150, 200 and 250 would get credit for the two points...

I hope that makes sense...

Thanks!

Tim Northcutt · 24 Jun 2006, 00:30 (Ref:1640116)

Since Qualifying got rained out, they set the grid based on combined practice times.

Just a Note:

I am generous in this contest....If your "Just Missed Pick" endede up in the Top three Rows, I gave you a point....I felt that you earned it.

AlwaysFirst had a big session in this section.

He picked Helio for the Pole and was closest to the actual Pole speed, plus the bonus points for 6 pts. off the top.

AlwaysFirst also had five of the Top Six, with Helio and Marco in the correct spots for 7 more points.

Tim, DrDisque & Flavinha had five picks with none actual for 5 pts each, and marcus & OpenWheel had four wit none actual for 4 pts. each

All but marcus & Flavinha had Buddy Lazier as the slowest qualifier for 2 pts each

Tim was Closest to the slowest speed for that qualifier

No one had Kanaan picked for the "Just Missed," but Tim (Sharp), DrDisque (Wheldon), and Flavinha (Marco) each got a point for having a "Top Six" pick that was not 7th, but in the "Top Seven"

Points after "Qualifying" as we go to tomorrow night's race:

1. AlwaysFirst - 15 Pts.
2. Tim - 12 pts.
3. DrDisque - 8 pts.
4. Flavinha - 6 pts.
(tie) OpenWheel - 6 pts.
6. Marcus - 4 pts.

Good Luck Tomorrow Night!!!

Pray that it doesn't get rained out, because this race is usually VERY entertaining!!!

Alwaysfirst · 24 Jun 2006, 00:45 (Ref:1640120)

Yay! This is the kind of scoring I need to be getting! I hope I go as well tomorrow!

Tim Northcutt · 24 Jun 2006, 00:52 (Ref:1640121)

Your picks were quite good this weekend, AlwaysFirst!!!

I'm just hoping that they run the race tomorrow....

The weather forecast looks bad for the east Coast both tomorrow and Sunday, and they go to Kansas the following weekend....

I think we all would have done better if they would have had actual qualifying, though...I think Dixon and some others had more speed to show, but didn't get the chance.....

But your picks were excellent, and they have set a very good tone for your weekend thus far.

Congrats!

marcus · 24 Jun 2006, 06:23 (Ref:1640167)

4 pts , thats terrible

Alwaysfirst · 24 Jun 2006, 23:00 (Ref:1640575)

Thanks Tim. In a kind of horribly selfish way I almost hope the race doesn't get run. It would be my first weekend win!

Then again we would miss a good race & I do need to give you lot the chance to catch up with me!

Tim Northcutt · 25 Jun 2006, 14:08 (Ref:1640849)

Here are your Race Results:

Tim & DrDisque both picked Hornish to win for 2 pts. each

In the "Top Five," DrDisque has 2 of five with both in correct spots (Hornis & Marco) for 4 pts. and marcus had 3 of five with one correct (Sharp) for 4 pts. Tim & OpenwWheel had 2 pts> and AlwaysFirst and Flavinha had 1 pt. each.

DrDisque picked Castroneves correctly for running the fastest lap.

AlwaysFirst was closest to the Fast Lap speed: Actual - 161.450 Always - 168.359

Hornish led at every Milestone - DrDisque & Tim picked up 6 pts each here. Flavinha had 4 pts and all others had 2 pts. in this section.

Tim & OpenWheel both had Simmons as 1st Out for 2 pts. each.

No one had Franchitti as the "Mover" (10th - 3rd), and no one had Kanaan as the "Fall" (7th - 18th).

DrDisque was the closest to the Avg. Speed: Actual - 192.572 DrDisue - 126.888

For the first time in three seasons in this competition, two people tied in points on aRace weekend. Tim & DrDisque both had 24 pts.

Since DrDisque was closest to the avg. speed, and it is the tiebreaker, he is decalred the winner of this race weekend.

Congratulations!!!!

1. DrDisque - 24 pts.
2. Tim - 24 pts.
3. AlwaysFirst - 20 pts.
4. OpenWheel - 12 pts.
5. Flavinha - 11 pts.
