ReplyDeleteAfter mediocre qualifying... I'm dropping Webber for Hamilton.
...and Kevin for Kyle!
So my picks are now;
ReplyDeleteNNS... Kyle
F1... Hamilton
Cup... Kyle
Wishy washy...
ReplyDeletefrom Athens via Facebook-
ReplyDeleteNationwide- Brad K
F1- "whoever moseby picked" (Alonso)
Cup- Jamie Mc
Tez- still waiting on your final pick
ReplyDeleteThe Beagle is dropping Brad in the Nationwide race and going with Joey instead.
ReplyDeleteI'll go with the Hamster for Abu Dhabi....looked good in practice and has more to go for than Sebby Vee given he was leading here last year until his car died.
ReplyDeletedo I be mean and pick Kyle like Gene and CR or Kevin like K....
ReplyDeleteTez- unless he missed that left turn in Albuquerque, the Hamster isn't in Abu Dhabi (unless you're referring to Hamilton)
ReplyDeleteGene picked JJ in Cup tez... I had Kevein, but I'm getting tired of his lackluster qualy attempts, and I think Kyle has a serious bone to pick with NASCAR this week!
ReplyDeleteAfter everyone has completed one race-

hanny 2
klv 2
sb 2
dwindy 4
athens 4
jon 12
cr 16
moseby 16
And now the real drama begins. Tez has completed two races and is working on a perfect score. Who will he pick for his 3rd driver???? The Trifecta world is anxiously awaiting the announcement,
Relief Drivers...
ReplyDeleteThrowing Kyle out of NW
Taking Vettel in F-1
Can't beat others who have JJ in Cup, so am replacing him with CARL!
F-1....Vettel
Cup....CARL!
And let's not forget the drama for the Trifecta championship. At this point, both Tez and Kristen are poised to take the outright lead for the coveted Triple Lug Nut Trophy with just one weekend left. Don't count out CR and Hanny just yet. Either one of them could come back and win next week.
ReplyDeleteLet the mind games begin.
Gee, that didn't take long at all. Changes noted- there will be a 5 point penalty for dumping Kyle.
ReplyDeleteyes, SB, the Hamster in this case is referring to the silver and red Vodafone version, not the black FedEx one that races with a roof over his head :)
ReplyDeleteCR: I meant the NW race....you and Gene picked Kyle, K went with Harvick. Kinda glad I stuck with Carl though ;)
ReplyDeleteand, to save the scouring through the trifecta rule book over whether nicknames only are allowed, I'll state it outright now:
ReplyDeleteF1 - Lewis Hamilton....Abu Dhabi owes him after last year (mind you, Montreal owes Ambrose 4 wins as well now...).
I'd like to switch my NNS Kyle pick to Carl. ...What? Too late you say? LOL I'm out of it this week. Have fun the rest of you!
ReplyDeleteCome on VADAR!!! =P
ReplyDeleteCR-
ReplyDeleteYou may be out of it for this week, but you're still racing for placement in the other two races. See the tie-breaker above,

Hamilton's 2nd place finish in F1 gives Tez his 6th win of the season and the outright lead for the coveted Triple Lug Nut Trophy. Kristen, Hanny, and CR are still "points" racing just in case we end up in a tie after next week's races.
tez...
ReplyDeleteI know it's early... But, do you have a mantle at your place?
Just trying to figure out where you're going to display your cherished 24 carat gold lug nut...
WTG! You're on the road to acquiring another prestigious award... The Walking Eagle!
Hmmmm Tez you are more and more like Vadar everyday. Congrats on the early win!
ReplyDeleteDang it!!
cool! I'm throwing my full support behind Athens, SB, Jon and Dwindy for next week to pick up a win if I can't go back-to-back :P

Ok, so here are your championship scenarios: We have 4 players still in contention for the coveted Triple Lug Nut Trophy- Tez, CR, Hanny, and Kristen.
1.)If Tez wins next week, the trophy is his.
2.)If CR wins, the trophy is his by virtue of the perfect score tie-breaker(that sound you hear is Tez cursing Lewis Hamilton for not winning)
3. If Hanny wins, he gets the trophy(perfect score).
4.) If Kristen wins- unless she gets a perfect score- we go to the tie breaker.
5. If anyone other than the four mentioned above win, the trophy goes to Tez.
Let the smack talk begin.
Nice win Vader! lol
ReplyDeleteHow about pulling a King Solomon in case of a tie? :0
I guess I'll just take my two wins today, and a 2nd on Friday, and go on back to the shop and prepare for Miami.
ReplyDeleteWTG Tez!!!
CR- it may come to that. The tie break procedure is outlined above.
ReplyDeleteHanny- if it weren't for Kyle's little faux pas in the Nationwide race, those placements would have gotten you the win this week (you picked before Tez).
Yeah, Speedy... For want of a patch, a tire was lost, for want of a tire, a race was lost, for want of a race, a tri-fecta was lost, for want of a tri-fecta, the coveted triple lug nut trophy may be lost. 8..(
ReplyDeletecan't do smack talk, a couple of guys named "Jimmy Johnstone" and "Chad Knouse" nicked my cliche book dang it!
