[GP Racer]

Finally, a breakout weekend for me. It's going to be a long hard slog to catch Tim and Jock, but I'm up for the challenge!

Great job Daisy! That may be the most points ever scored in the long, and illustrious history of this contest!

[Tim Northcutt]

Actually, if you add this Year's Indy Qualifying and Race together, I had 29...

and last year at Kentucky, I had 27...which is really my best total, since the Indy format gave us more opportunities for total race points that the format we use of other races...

But I can't remember many contests during the "non-Indy" season when someone scored more than 20 points in a weekend...I think they are very few and far between...

Both of you (Daisy and GP) did an excellent job this weekend....

Boy was I pulling for Kanaan to pick up 2nd spot from Sam!!! that sure would have helped my total...

I guess keeping the gap to Tim Northcutt Racing unchanged was the best I could hope for after such a low scoring weekend. But now I got GP Racer breathing down my neck!

[Daisy]

I doubled my points not bad
