Thanks for removing the "best lap of the weekend" thing!

[Tim Northcutt]

Sorry NaBUru38, but I left out the "Fastest Lap of Any Session" and the "Fast Lap Speed" for Quals.

Please post those in a separate post and I'll edit them into your picks.

It was my fault

[marcostraz]

I have a question: in the past race, I had not pick any driver for "first car out of the race"...it was my inadvertence, not a voluntary choice...did since there was any retirement in that race, did you give me two points or not? It's only a curiosity, but formally I made the correct pick!!!

[Tim Northcutt]

I did not credit you...but you make a good point...

In fact, I will credit you for the two points, although since Sato was last, I did count him too, because even though he was running, he was OUT of the race for so long that I did award the choice for NaBUru38

I made the changes in the Alabama race results and the season totals to reflect the additional two points I gave you, marcostraz.

Good Luck This Weekend

[Tim Northcutt]

Here are your results from Quals;

Everyone but NBU and Yannick had Power on the pole for 2 pts.
drew was closest to the speed and got the bonus as well: Actual 102.206 drew-101.731

Yannick, Daisy, and drew also had Power for the fast lap for 2 pts.

Again, drew was closest to the speed & got the bonus: Actual 102.206 drew-101.9..

In the Top Six, daisy had 7 pts, drew 6 pts., and all others had 5 pts. each

No one had Baguette for the slowest qualifier (at least he set a time), but I was kind enough to give everyone 1 pt. for Milk and Donuts for just being the stiff that she is....

In the Just Miss, no one had Tagliani, but Yannick, AF and drew all had a driver picked that made the Top Six, so they got a pt. each.

NOTE...Since Duno did not set a time, drew did not get a bonus for picking the "Human Chicane" plus the speed. You have to set a time to get the bonus here

Totals after Quals:

1. drew - 22 pts. (I think that may be a record for this round!)
2. Daisy - 12 pts.
3. Alwaysfirst - 9 pts.
(tie) Yannick - 9 pts.
5. marcostraz - 8 pts.
6. NaBUru38 - 6 pts.

Good Luck Tomorrow!!!

It wasn't necessarily a bad one for you, but a good one for drewdawg727.

The bonus points really help in this competition.

You had good picks in the Top Six...all picked pretty well there...

It'll even out...

All of you will enjoy Indy...I separate out pole day from the race itself, and you'll get good chances to score points.
