Again, Indiana had record flooding today ( might be the worst in 100 years!) and I had my sump pump give put for good in the ehight of the storms that trained over us all night and morning....I'm on soak up and mop detail again in the past 5 days!!!

It sucks!!!!!

Here are your Quals Results:

Peno, drdisque, Alwaysfirst, NAC Drewdawg and OpenWheel all had Dixon for the Pole.

Captain was closest to the Pole avg.: actual- 214.878 Captain-214.873 (Sweet Pick!)

Alwaysfirst had the Fast lap: Actual-215.143 AF-215.192 (also Great!)

In the "Top Six," Peno, drdisque, ProRacer, and Alwaysfirst all had 5 pts each.The penguin and Dylan14 both had 3 and Daisy had 2...all others got 4

No one had EJ Viso for the slowest qualifier....

ThePenguin was closest to the avg.: actual-209.313 Penguin-209.831

In the "just mis," no one had John Andretti, but everyone except ProRacer, Alwaysfirst, NAC and drewdawg had someone who was in the top six, so you all got 1 pt. each.

Totals thus far as the race approaches just a few hours away:

1. drdisque - 8 pts
(tie) ThePenguin - 8 pts.
(tie) Peno - 8 pts.
4. CaptainCrunch - 7 pts.
(tie) Alwaysfirst - 7 pts.
(tie) OpenWheel - 7 pts.
7. NAC - 6 pts.
(tie) drewdawg - 6 pts.
9. ProRacer - 5 pts.
10. Dylan14 - 4 pts.

Good Luck Tonight!!!!!

Hope it's not to bad. Good luck with that clean up.

In the Milestones, ProRacer had 4 pts and Captial, Dylan, drdusque, ThePenguin, Alwaysfirst and NAC had 2 pts. each

OpenWheel was the only person to pick Rice as the Mover

Not last, suprises me.

General question, can I send my predictions for Richmond by Private Message to you? I'm going on holiday for a week on thursday and I might not be back in time to send in my predictions for that race. The time of the return flight has already been changed 3 times, so I'm not gonna take any risk...

hmm, first race I missed all season and I won it. Maybe I should not watch more races.

On second thought, no, I like the racing too much.
