Forum "Pick 'Em" Contest -- Homestead 2005

Yes, Ladies and Gentlemen....

It is that time of year again....

and as promised last autumn, I will be running our very own "Forum Pick 'Em Contest" again!!!!

For some reason, I can't remember who won last year's Season Championship

But it is a "New Season," and last year's contest was very close and highly competitive....

the next post will be the template for the season-opener at Homestead....

Please copy it and use it...otherwise, it makes things rather difficult for me to tally the scores....

Thanks again, and GOOD LUCK!!!!

Tim

Way to go Tim!

Should be a great season, and I can't wait to beat marcus again!

I'll make my picks later after I do my usual in-depth, step-by-step, comprehensive, and exhaustive research on the race match-ups.

Tim, I have to give you props.

That has to be one of the most comprehensive forum series/race "pick em" competitions I have ever seen.

It makes you think about many aspects of the race weekend and to take into account team strategies, etc.....

and if you have one or two picks that don't pan out, you can make up the points in another area...unlike other contests that just have you select the Top 5 and the pole sitter...

Once we started it last year (with Indy), we had a good time with it....

Give it some thought, jhansen...then maybe give it a try...

If you were to do it for the ALMS 2005 season I'd be first in line!

But I get what you're saying, it certainly makes you think and it does give you a lot of chances.

I'll note it im my tally sheets, but if the Moderators could make that edit for Drewdawg so that the Forum Board reads correctly, I would appreciate it...

Thanks!

QUICK NOTE:

Since the first practice session at Homestead was delayed by rain, the Deadline has been extended to:

Noon -- That is one hour away from the time of this post....

Since this is the first event of the season, I wanted to be fair to everyone and give everybody a chance to get in before actual practice starts....

Here are your "Preliminary Results" after today's qualifying session:

No one picked Tomas Scheckter as the Pole Winner

Tim N. was clostest to the pole speed of 215 mph for 2 pts.

In the 1st Three Rows section, Tim N., GP Racer and Marcus all had 3 of the top 6 selected, but Marcus had both Vitor Meira and Buddy Rice in their actual spots to earn 5 points in this section. Down F0rce had Franchitti in his actual spot for 2 pts as well plus Rice to tie Tim and GP for second place in this section, who got 1 pt. each for their three selections in the Top Six.

Tim N. and Luke both had Paul Dana as the Slowest Qualifier

No one had Meira as the Fastest Honda

Tim N. Luke Drewdawg727 and DownForce all had Helio Castroneves as the Top Toyota.

Everyone got 2 pts. for Tomas Scheckter as the Top Chevy.

Results after Qualifying:

1. Tim N. -- 11 pts.
2. Luke -- 8 pts.
3. Down F0rce -- 7 pts.
(tie) Marcus -- 7 pts.
5. Drewdawg727 -- 6 pts.
6. GP Racer -- 5 pts.
7. Jock25 -- 4 pts.

Let's hope that our Race Picks are better....

But many of us had AGR cars up near the front...and with the exception of Franchitti, they sucked....

Some of our "Mover" and "Fall from Grace" Picks could be good ones, based on how qualifying went today...

Tomorrow should be both interesting and a lot of fun...

GOOD LUCK!!!!
