BTW....
Just to bring a little comfort to you all.... In last year's Indy Quals picks, I did very well.... But my Race Picks sucked.... I'm hoping that history doesn't repeat itself... |

Time Is Up....It is 11 a.m. In Indianapolis on Carb Day....
The only pick that I am confident in is the "Average Race Speed" compated to everyone else's picks.... The record for the race is 187 mph...Arie set it in his first win at Indy... Usually, the average speed runs anywhere from about 165-145 mph due to cautions.... Everything else is a toss-up...lots of drivers that I wanted to pick, but didn't have the space to do it.... Fernandez Sharp Bruno Dario and Herta Scheckter (I think his tide will turn) It was particularly hard to make the picks for this race.... Enjoy it, ladies and gentlemen....I will be there in Turn 3, loving very minute of it... |

You may not envy me if it rains tomorrow, Marcus....the forecast has suddenly become "iffy"....but we deal with that as it comes...
I just hope none of it is severe....an F3 Tornado missed my house by about 150 yards last year after the Race had concluded... A couple of notes: I will be generous when it comes to awarding "Milestones" points if the "official" race goes less than 150 laps... Let's say Hornish wins in a race that goes 130 laps... If you had Sam as the 150 lap leader, you will get the points, or if you had him at 200 laps...If you had him in both, you'd get 4 points... Added note: We're expecting Lazier to get his car fixed in time for the start tomorrow... If he cannot make the grid, and you had him as "1st Out", I'll obviously award it... But I'll also award points for the "1st out" that actually takes the grid and races... Just in case either of those scenarios arises..... |
