Haha, woke up at 5.00am and thought **** I hadn't done the pic em, think that was my quickest ever full in

[Tim Northcutt]

Here are your Quals Results:

Daisy, drew, and AF had Power on the Pole for 2 pts. each

Drew was closest to the pole speed: Actual-118.057 drew-118.100 (Nice Pick!)

He picked up 2 plus the bonus for 4 pts. total

Daisy & drew also had Power for the fast lap for 2 pts. each

Again, drew was closest to the fast lap speed: Actual-118.107 drew-118.400

drew got the 2 pts. plus the bonus as well here

in the"Top Three Rows," NBU, Daisy and AF had 4 pts each Yannick had 2 pts and all others had 3 pts. each

Everyone had Milka as the slowest for 2 pts. (At least no one will get shut out in points this year!!! LOL)

NBU was closest to the slow speed: Actual-110.191 NBU-109.999 (Nice Pick as well!)

in the "Just Miss," AF had Dario for 2 pts., and marco and Yannick had drivers from the Top Six to earn 1 pt. each.

Totals after Quals:

1. drewdawg - 17 pts.
2.Alwaysfirst - 10 pts.
(tie) NBU - 10 pts.
(tie) Daisy - 10 pts.
5. marcostraz - 6 pts.
6. NAC - 5 pts.
(tie) Yannick - 5 pts.

Sato, marco A. and Conway threw a wrench into a lot of picks today.

Good Luck in the Race tomorrow!

[NAC]

ohhh man I fell like Danica Patrick right now. Having a crap start to the season, maybe I should just bow out now

[drewdawg727]

WOW! 2010 is being good to me thus far!

[Tim Northcutt]

Here are your race results:

NBU and marco had helio for the win for 2 pts. each

In the Top Five, marco had 6 pts., NBU 4, Daisy and NAC had 3 each, and all others had 2 pts.

AF had Wilson for the fast lap for 2 pts.

drew had the closest speed: Actual-113.759 drew-114.617

In the milestones, NBU and marco had 2 pts each

NBU also had Sato as 1st Out (I counted him, since he got last place, even though he was eventually running...Trust me, he was "Out" of the race with the early mishap.

EDIT: April 13

After Further Review, I'm also counting 2 pts. for marcostraz, who did not pick anyone...Since everyone did actually finish, he does deserve the 2 pts. as well, because he was correct....

No one had Wheldon for the Mover (23-11)

Yannick had Sato as the "Fall" guy: (6-25)

marco was closest to the avg. speed: Actual-106.436 marco-105.112

Thank you, thank you for the win...and special thanks to Tim for actually spelling my name correctly all weekend!

I'm not that unhappy with my 4th place, especially since I have 3 points less than the number 5

But the gap is growing with the top 3, I have to do something

[NAC]

NAC runs and hides

[marcostraz]

I'm very constant and consistent!!! Good race after a so and so qualifying...although I forgot to pick the first car out of the race...

I do Pole Day and the RACE separately and I add factors...They'll get their good share of points!
