GOOD LUCK!!!!

[drdisque]

damn, I forgot to pick a first car out of the race

if you'll allow it I'd like to pick Jeff Simmons

after all, that pick more than any is mostly luck

[Tim Northcutt]

I'll plug Jeff Simmons in there for you...it was an honest oversight, and I've offered the same to others in the past in this type of situation.

I didn't notice that you didn't have a selection there, or I would have PM'ed or e-mailed you

[Tim Northcutt]

Here are your qualifying results from Today:

OpenWheel had Helio on the Pole for 2 pts.

DrDisque was closest to the Pole speed for 2 pts.

Marcus had 4 of 6 with Meira correct for 5 pts., DrDisque had 3 of 6 with Meira correct, and OpenWheel had 3 of 6 with Helio correct for 4 pts each, Tim & AlwaysFirst had 3 of 6 none correct for 3 pts each and Flavinha had 2 of 6 for 2 pts.

No one had Briscoe as the slowest

DrDisque was closest to the slow qualifier speed for 2 pts.

No one had Ed carpenter as the "Just Missed"

Points after Qualifying:

2. OpenWheel - 6 pts.
3. Marcus - 5 pts.
4. Tim - 3 pts.

6. Flavinha - 2 pts.

Overall, our picks were not good....lots of surprises in the filed...especially Simmons & Carpenter....

Let's see what happens tomorrow
