Forum "Pick 'Em" Contest - Richmond 2005

Tim Northcutt · 20 Jun 2005, 18:00 (Ref:1334886)

Sun Trust 250 “Pick ‘em” Contest
Richmond International Speedway – Sat., June 25

DEADLINE FOR PICKS: Friday, June 24, at 5:30 p.m. (GMT) or approx. 10:30 a.m. on Friday, June 24, in Richmond…That is when the first practice session for the teams begins

PLEASE Get them in Before the Deadline

--- The IRL returns to the ¾-mile, 14-degree-banked oval at Richmond, the shortest track on the season schedule, under the lights…..Set-ups and handling traffic are very important at this track, and the action there has been fast and furious...

Don't Blink, or you'll miss some action on this track...

We’ll do it the same as always…and the format is really self-explanatory….

The race is 250 laps, and 187.5 miles….thus we will have added choices for the “Milestones” section this week, just like we did last year.

Gee tim, you're so modest...
but good luck this weekend

Tim Northcutt · 25 Jun 2005, 11:41 (Ref:1339788)

Forgot to bring over the season totals:

Season Totals After Six Races:

1. Tim N. - 113 pts.
2. Jock25 - 106 pts.
3. GP Racer - 84 pts.
4. Marcus - 78 pts.
5. Flavinha - 68 pts.
6. Luke - 58 pts.
7. Drewdawg - 51 pts.
(tie) stmookey - 51 pts.
9. Daisy - 44 pts.
10. DrDisque - 22 pts.
11. sgw2 - 15 pts.
12. trow - 12 pts.
13. Raven - 11 pts.

Tim Northcutt · 25 Jun 2005, 11:55 (Ref:1339794)

Now for Qualifying Results:

Dr. Disque hit the home run this week....

Dr. Disque, GP Racer, and Jock25 all had Hornish on the Pole

Dr. Disque also was closest to the Pole Speed: Actual - 176.244 Dr. Disque picked 175.445 to earn that 2 pts. plus the two Bonus Points for picking both correct...

Great Picks!!!

Of the "Top Three Rows," Dr. Disque, Jock25, and Marcus all had 4 pts., and Tim N., Flavinha and Jock25 had 3 pts each...

No one had Danica as the slowest qualifier....because I'm generous, I would've counted Kanaan, even though he didn't set an offical lap time, but no one picked him, either.

GP, Jock25, and Flavinha all had Dario as the Top Honda for 2 pts.

Everyone but Marcus had Hornish as the Top Toyota

No One had Enge as the Top Chevy

The Results after Qualifying:

1. Dr.Disque -- 12 pts.
2. GP Racer -- 10 pts.
3. Jock25 -- 9 pts.
4. Flavinha -- 7 pts.
5. Tim N. -- 5 pts.
6. Marcus -- 4 pts.
7. Drewdawg -- 3 pts.

"Steamroller???????"

After this round of picks, I don't think I would even qualify as a "Rolling Pin"

BTW...Jock25 is now within 3 pts of me....we may have a new leader going into Kansas next weekend...

Good Luck tonight, everyone!!!!

Enjoy the race....

I won't get to watch it...We open our summer season of outdoor concerts tonight, and I'll be working from 5 p.m. until about 10:30 at night....

Hope everyone has good results tonight...

Thanks for being loyal participants int he Contest...I enjoy doing this!!!

Agreed, Marcus

Tim Northcutt · 26 Jun 2005, 16:28 (Ref:1340409)

Here are your Final Results from Richmond...

No one had Helio as the winner

GP Racer did the best in the "Top Five"

He picked four of the five, and had Dario and Scheckter in the correct places for 6 pts.

Drewdawg had 4 pts. with Scheckter in the correct spot

Jock25 and Falvinha both had 3 picks in the top five for 3 pts each

No on had Kosuke Matsuura as the driver with the fastest lap...

Jock25 edged me out on the Fast Lap Speed by .4 mph...

Actual: 171.372 Jock25's pick: 171.501

In the "Milestones, Flavinha and Drewdawg had Helio as the leader at lap 150, and Marcus had Dario as the leader at lap 125 for 2 pts each

No one had dixon as 1st out

No one had Scheckter as the "Mover" -- 19th to 4th

No one had Briscoe as the "Fall from Grace" -- 3rd to 21st (Hornish was close 1st-18th)

Tim N. was clasest to Avg. Speed: Actual - 114.153 Tim N. - 115.312

The winner for this race:

GP RACER!!!!!! (Long overdue!!!!! Nice Job!!!!!)

1. GP Racer - 16 pts.
2. Jock25 - 14 pts.
(tie) Dr. Disque - 14 pts.
4. Flavinha - 12 pts.
5. Drewdawg - 9 pts.
(tie) Tim N. - 9 pts.
7. Marcus - 8 pts.

Jock 25 is breathing down my neck now....only 2 pts. behind for the season....

and GP Racer has obviously gotten a hold of our draft and is gaining!!!!

Kansas is always a wild shootout where anyone can win it in the last laps....

Tim Northcutt · 26 Jun 2005, 16:33 (Ref:1340410)

Season Totals After Seven Races:

1. Tim N. - 122 pts.
2. Jock25 - 120 pts.
3. GP Racer - 100 pts.
4. Marcus - 86 pts.
5. Flavinha - 80 pts.
6. Drewdawg - 60 pts.
7. Luke - 58 pts.
8. stmookey - 51 pts.
9. Daisy - 44 pts.
10. DrDisque - 36 pts.
11. sgw2 - 15 pts.
12. trow - 12 pts.
13. Raven - 11 pts.

We aren't at the halfway point yet....plenty of points to be gotten....

Flavinha is getting within striking distance of a podium or better...and GP Racer (who has actually had good picks, but just hasn't gotten the correct places until that last two races) is now starting to hit those spots...

Jock25 continues to be spot on or in the ballpark of fastest and average speeds both for Quals and the races, and those points are important ones....

Next week ought to be a wild one...

Can Toyota continue to be competitive???

Can Chevy continue to run strong like they did at Texas??? Especially Enge, who has been very fast the past two races....

Can Rahal-Letterman pull it together???

We find out next week at Kansas....

I'll post the next contest tomorrow

Good Luck!!!

marcus · 26 Jun 2005, 18:48 (Ref:1340459)

can I finally get it right ?

jock25 · 26 Jun 2005, 22:13 (Ref:1340598)

I love this game... though I freely admit my position in the championship standings probably colours my opinion somewhat!

Yet another exciting Indycar race, and another new winner. Hats off to GP Racer

Closing in on our long-time series leader is certainly exciting...

drewdawg727 · 27 Jun 2005, 04:14 (Ref:1340699)

I love doing it....

Because it is not the typical "Pick the Podium" or "Pick the Top Ten" contest....

I tried to make it challenging....and to make the participants think about more than the front of the field...

From my results in the last two races, maybe I made it too challenging for myself!!!

I'll check the IRL website for the practice shedule for next weekend, and then I'll post the Kansas "Contest" template for all of you...

GP Racer · 27 Jun 2005, 20:18 (Ref:1341414)

Be still my beating heart, I finally won one of these contests!

When I got back from the USGP, I was really in no mood for Richmond, but leave it to the IRL to restore my faith!

Thanks guys!
