Tim Northcutt · 10 Sep 2005, 15:57 (Ref:1403768)

Damn...

I just looked through my scoring sheets and realized that Jock25 didn't enter any picks...

That is a shame, because he has picked very well all season long....

Wish I would have looked through them before practice started this morning...I would have tried to reach him...

Tim Northcutt · 10 Sep 2005, 23:42 (Ref:1404013)

Here are your results:

No one had Briscoe on the Pole

Tim. N was the clostest to the Pole Speed: actual-217.133, Tim N. 216.748

Top Theree Rows:

Flavinha & Drewdawg had 4 pts each - drew had 4 of the 6 & Flavinha had 3 of 6 with Scheckter in the correct spot.

Tim, Flavinha and Daisy had CEd Carpenter as the slowest qualifier

No one had Danica as the fast Honda

No one had Briscoe as the fast Toyota

Everyone had Scheckter as the fast Chevy

Totals:

1. Tim N. - 9 pts.
2. Flavinha - 8 pts.
3. Daisy - 7 pts.
4. Marcus - 5 pts.
5. DrDisque - 5 pts.
6. DrewDawg - 4 pts.

Tim Northcutt · 11 Sep 2005, 01:00 (Ref:1404037)

All three Ganassi cars failed tech inspection..thus Briscoe's time was disallowed....

No on had Danica on the Pole

Danica's time of 215.970 made DrDisque closest to the pole with a speed of 216.700 for 2 pts. I lose the two for my pick....

Since Scheckter moved up a spot, Flavinha lost a point for having him in the correct spot. Drewdawg had 4 pts, others had 3.

same people had points for Carpenter as the slowest qualifier, because he had a time actually set and accepted.

Everyone but marcus had Hornish as the Fast Toyota....all who had Sam now have two more points...(got mine back from losing the pole speed

"Revised" Totals after qualifying:

1. Tim N. - 9 pts.
(Tie) Flavinha - 9 pts.
(tie) Daisy - 9 pts.
(tie)DrDisque - 9 pts.
5. Drewdawg - 6 pts.
6. Marcus - 5 pts.

Wierd Day.....Good Luck tomorrow...

marcus · 11 Sep 2005, 02:31 (Ref:1404058)

Timezones confuse me and this time I got caught out big. I realised about an hour after the deadline that I had not submitted my picks...

especially since I had them on my desktop ready to go after a little light tinkering...

A bad bad weekend for me... now I am going to have to fight just to keep second place! I have to say it is good that Flavinha missed Indy!

Flavinha · 12 Sep 2005, 19:35 (Ref:1406014)

I am really happy with yesterday's results!!!

It was a shame that jock25 didn't post his (or her???) picks because it have been a good competition!!! And jock25, I lost Homestead too

Tim, Vitor changed the engine before qualifying.

marcus · 13 Sep 2005, 05:33 (Ref:1406315)

oh good I brought up the rear again

Red Bull Cheever Driver here I come

Is that supposed to make me feel better?!

At least this way, the battle for second place becomes a lot more interesting.
