Depends on how "Good" your picks are...

I'll count them....you couldn't help the circumstances...

[drewdawg727]

as you may know my picks so far haven't been "good" lol

[Tim Northcutt]

Here are your qualifying results:

Tim N., GP Racer & Jock25 all picked Hornish for the Pole for 2 pts.

Jock25 also was closest ot the Pole Speed: Actual- 170.296 Jock - 170.101
thus hegets those two plus the two bonus points for a total of six pts. after the first two picks..

In the "Top Three Rows," Tim N. had 7 points with 4 of the 6, and Hornish, Sheckter and Lazier in the correct spots

Drewdawg had 5 0f the six, but only Lazier in the correct spot for 6 pts.

GP Racer had 3 of 6 (Hornish Correct) and Flavinha had 3 of 6 (Scheckter correct) for 4 pts. each

No one had Matsuura as the slowest qualifier...Manning and Briscoe did not set times, thus they are not counted.....

Drewdawg picked all three of the top engine qualifiers and was the only one with Wheldon as the top Honda

Everyone but Daisy and Marcus had Hornish as the Top Toyota for 2 pts. ach

All had Scheckter as the Top Chevy.
