PLEASE Get them in Before the Deadline

-- The IRL makes its Canadian debut on the 14-turn, 1.96 mile airport course in Edmonton. This track is the best temporary circuit in North American, IMO, and it is fast, wide and creatively designed. The racing will be great here.

Not sure if it is a timed race or has a set amount of laps – See Milestones

6. "Backwards Fall from Grace" in the Race (from highest starting spot to worst finish): (2 pts.)

TIEBREAKER:

Pick the "Average Speed for the Race" (to the one-thousandth):



NOTE: I should be able to calcualte the 1/4, halfway, 3/4 and obviously the final lap from the total laps run on the IRL Timing & Scoring reports. In case the total laps are not divisible by 4, I will round it up to the next lap.

Example:

Let's say that the total race went 67 laps in 2 hrs.

Since 4 goes into 67 16.75 times, I will just score them at the following laps.

1/4 way - 17 laps
Half - 34
3/4 - 51
Final - 67

Good Luck
