JagtechOhio · 27 May 2010, 14:45 (Ref:2699298)

Point of order, not sure if this affects you guys or not. Tony Kanaan will be starting in the 33rd position, swapping places with Saavedra. Kanaan opted to race his unqualified primary car, damaged in the Pole day accident and not on track since.

Tim Northcutt · 28 May 2010, 14:06 (Ref:2699934)

IMPORTANT NOTE:

Last night, I was experiencing MAJOR issues with my home computer, and I don't know if it was caused by the weather (storms) or if I have huge problems to be corrected.

I can't promise when I'll get race results posted due to this issue...could be as late as Tuesday, with the Texas race looming the following weekend.

My Usual Housekeeping:

My usual Housekeeping, since I will be at Pole Day tomorrow, and practice is scheduled to start at 8 a.m.

Sorry about these being so late, but I'm sittl having major computer issues at home and can't figure out why my computer is not receiving the connection that it should from my service provider.

No one had Dario for the win.

In the Top Ten, Dylan and Fieldofdreams (FOD) had 7 pts. each, Daisy, drewdawg and marco had 6 each, and all othrs had 5 pts.

No one had Will Power for the fast lap driver.

FOD was closest to the speed: Actual-225.090 FOD-225.007

In the Milestones, Dario led at each one...Thus Daisy got 2 pts. and FOD got 4 pts. in this section

In the 1st Out, no one had Hamilton for the 2 pts., but Daisy, drewand Yannick had 1 pt each for picking a DNF driver.

For the "Mover," everyone but NAC had Kanaan for 2 pts...Lloyd also tied Kanaan for most positions gained, and would have counted for 2 pts as well.

For the "Fall" guy, only Dylan picked Hamilton for the 2 pts.

For "Rookie of the Year," drew, marco and NAC all picked Simona for 2 pts. each.

NAC was closest to the avg. speed: Actual-161.623 NAC 155.555

Your Indy 500 Race Contest Final Results:

1. Fieldofdreams - 15 pts. (the rookie gets the win!)
2. drewdawg - 11 pts.
(tie) Daisy - 11 pts.
(tie) Dylan14 - 11 pts.
5. marcostraz - 10 pts.
6. NAC - 9 pts.
7. Yannick - 8 pts.
8. NaBUru38 - 7 pts.

I'll post Texas ASAP!!! We have a quick turnaround time for that contest, and again, I apologize for the computer issues that kept me from posting this sooner.

Nice Job, fieldofdreams!!!!
