I find that the races are much tougher to pick this year than last...

Although AGR has had a great First Third of the Season, a number of teams have been extremely competitive.....and picking "Top 3 Rows" and the "Top Five" has been particularly difficult....

Good Luck, Everyone!!!!

"Race Picks" - Race Winner - Dan Wheldon

Top 5 (again)

1. Dan Wheldon
2. Tony Kanaan

4. Vitor Meira
5. Tomas Scheckter

Looking forward to this one - should be a stormer!

[marcus]

Jock25's picks have been editted into his original post

[Tim Northcutt]

Bottom Line:

Daisy Kicked our Butts in Qualifying, Gang!!!

She picked Scheckter for the Pole for 2 pts.

She was closest to the Pole Speed: Actual 213.847 Daisy: 213.880

Thus she also earned the two Bonus Points...

Thus far, Daisy 6 pts. and the rest of us...0

She also had Hornish and Scheckter in the correct spots plus PDanica and Meira in Top Three Rows for 6 more points.

sqw2, GP Racer (with two correct spot picks), Marcus, and Jock25 all had 4 pts.

I counted Patrick Carpentier or AJ Foyt IV for slowest...only sqw2 had AJ IV

sgw2 and DrDisque both had Danica as th fastest Honda

Everyone but Drewdawg had Hornish as the Top Toyota

All picked Scheckter as the Top Chevy

The Qualifying Totals:

1. Daisy - 18 pts
2. sgw2 - 12 pts.
3.DrDisque - 9 pts.
4.GP Racer - 8 pts.
(tie) Marcus - 8 pts.
(tie) Jock25 - 8 pts.
7. Flavinha - 7 pts.
(tie) Tim N. - 7 pts.
9. Drewdawg - 5 pts.

Saturday is the Main Event....Can't wait...

Great Job, Daisy!!!! Excellent Picks!!!!!

[drewdawg727]

Wow, i don't know where this fit of bad luck is coming from...i feel like Tomas Scheckter :\

[jock25]

Anyone else kind of relieved that Daisy missed the start of the season?!

Inspired picks Daisy.

[Tim Northcutt]

I know I am!!!!!

But there are still 11 races after this weekend...a lot of time for her to catch up....

Especially if my Quals Picks are indicative of what I might do in the future...talk about a major flame-out...

[marcus]

Im just happy I got to beat Tim for once
