Well, here it is- the first official Blogspot Trifecta. This week, we'll once again try the 5 race Superfecta(I was going to make it 6, but Lance decided to work for the good of the team and forego an 8th win at the Tour de Lance)
The races for this week are:
The NASCAR Camping World Truck Race from Indianapolis Friday night.
The NASCAR Nationwide Series Race from Indianapolis Saturday night.
The F1 Hungarian Grand Prix from Budapest Sunday.
The NASCAR Sprint Cup Race from Indianapolis Sunday afternoon.
The IRL race from Edmonton Sunday afternoon.
THE RULES
Pick any driver you want- no restrictions.
Ties go to the first to post.
Good luck, and let's go racing.

LOL @ Hanny!!!
ReplyDeleteI was wondering if you would pick Kyle for all three NASCAR races; however, as talented as he is, I do believe the travel time between Budapest, Indianapolis, and Edmonton would be his undoing- unless you have proof he is a native of the planet Krypton :o).

Ok, so far we have 8 players(9 if you count me). Still waiting for photogr, Hanahan, and F2 to complete their picks.
ReplyDeleteAnyone who hasn't played before and would like to, the rules are simple. Just pick one driver in each of the races listed above. Points are awarded based on where your drivers finish(1 point for 1st, 2 for 2nd, etc.), and the player with the lowest score wins.
We'd love to have you play along.

It's good to be first in line! LOL
ReplyDeleteF1 picks (Hanny and photogr) and/or driver changes need to be posted by MIDNIGHT CDT.
ReplyDeleteThat is all.
Ok Speedy, I see you put somethig about updates on F1 drivers by midnight July 24?? I wanted to change my F1 is who I wanted but got scared off by weather temps but its Sebastian Vettel and a Cup change to Mark Martin a safe pick.
ReplyDeleteSome thing makes me think Dale Jr wins this one. I know how crazy is that.lol.
Thanks
Oh and one more thing about the tie breaker.
ReplyDeleteThe tie breaker is who has picked the most winners first out of five races first right or wrong? Cause having the first pick only will count on the last race if it's two that have the same driver right and the total of that race gives us a tie?
If no one has the same driver on the last race how is it going to be broken down? I don't mean to be a pain in the a&& but it could happen. CR Racing is the man who is all ways on top of knowing the rules inside and out but he had the first picks so he is not asking.LMAO.lol.lol.lol. So I am who had to pick after a few had.lol
thanks
Forensic; the overall tiebreaker goes to the first person who can correctly explain the Duckworth-Lewis system in cricket....and no good asking me (despite my love of the game) as I have no idea since it's more complex than the NASCAR rulebook, LOL!
ReplyDeleteoh and photo....Nico Rosberg and Kaz Nakajima drive for Williams, is that what you meant?
ReplyDeleteTez, I have had many try and tell me the over and under etc while being over here and I am just finaly got it, but don't ask me to explain it.lol. and now you ask about a Duckworth-Lewis system in cricket.
ReplyDeleteI even tryed to argue why they need to run so fast and so far back to pitch the ball, when MLB players can throw 99 froma stand still. Then they say no its bowling not pitching.. I said you mean you took two sports candlepin bowling and baseball and made it into one.lol
Clarification on ties--
ReplyDeleteIf you are tied with a driver who has one or more picks the same as you, the tie goes to the person who posted first.
If there is a tie with NO common drivers, the tie goes to the person who picked the most winners(top 5's, top 10's. etc.).
If there is still a tie after all of that, the tie will be broken by throwing whipped cream pies at 50 paces.
Since FOX obliterated past blog comments, we can't use past Trifecta wins as a tie-breaker(sorry Kristen).
Well not that a tie will help me now that Brad had to go and reck someone who took Mike Bliss out.lol. I am listening on MRN radio and it sounds like a great race to watch.
ReplyDeleteOh well I got David Stremme tomarrow in the SYMT, THAT WILL BE A HOOT. Another crash,, leader has spun, wow. what a race.
PS, I have the list of the last 18 winners and Klvalus has 5 wins but someone has 6?
ReplyDeleteI never thought I say I miss the Nationwide race.lol
After the Nationwide race-

Driver changes for the Sprint Cup and IRL races need to be posted by 12:00pm CDT 7-26.
I will try to update after the F1 race.
CORRECTION--
ReplyDeleteF2 and Moseby have 34 and 43 points respectively.
(It's correct on the spreadsheet.)
Woot! I am lurking near the front with some good drivers to come!! yipee!
ReplyDeleteI thought I had the record for most wins in Trifecta F2 but I could be wrong but I *thought* that is why WW made such a big deal about it...
either way your tie breaker system is more than fair Speedy!
Thanks, Kristen. Still working out the logistics of the whipped cream pies at 50 paces. Perhaps another blogger get together at the banquet in Las Vegas and the interested parties can settle it there?????
ReplyDelete(Speaking of whipped cream pies at 50 paces, did you ever read Beau Estes' column on NASCAR.com after Tony and Kurt had their run in at Pocono in 2007. I'll see if I can get the link.)
http://www.nascar.com/2007/news/opinion/06/12/jgordon.pocono.rain/index.html
ReplyDeleteWhat you want to read is at the bottom if page 2(the run in was prior to Pocono. This was after all the hub-bub at Daytona in February,)
Hmmmm......sounds like someone we know! After this I'll have to step up my anti-Smoke campaign! LOL
ReplyDelete"...And now, my favorite email of the week...
Kurt Busch started it. How should they end it? I like whipped cream pies at 20 paces. Tony would win hands down. Did you see Kurt Busch throw the first pitch at an Arizona Diamondbacks game last year? To say he throws like a girl is an insult to girls everywhere.

To Kristen- remember, that was before I joined the FOX bloggers.
that was a pathetic race for both Brawns....all the time they were saying "wait until it gets hotter, we'll be back in front" and they get the worst result of the season. If that stays for the next couple races, it won't just be the Constructors championship they'll be worried about.
ReplyDeleteKlvalus, I am missing some trifectas when Dwindy1 did a few last year? I came up with the list when I was trying to find out who was the last to pick and winners etc. So I did go threw the list WW had and posts for the other ones that had not been posted on his profile.
ReplyDeleteI added Tez's,CR Racing,Storkjrc, and I think the first one Speedbeagle did for the list of 19. At that time WW said you had the most at 5 I said watch out cause I am knocking on the door with 4. Then I won CR Racings and then Storkjrcs to give me 6.lol
Anyway I sent a coment to WilliamWilman to come here, If anyone has his e-mail send him a invite cause it might be a while before he see the mesages.
Cheers
LOL figures its YOU who thinks he has six wins! heheheheheeeee
ReplyDeleteI dont have WW's email so if anyone gets it I have to invite people since I am the only admin on here at the moment.

Damned Vettel sunk my chances.
ReplyDeleteJust like the Germans to sink things going between the US and UK....
sa-weeeeeeeet, the inaugural blogspot trifecta, yay! Big thanks to SB for organising it as well as the race chat post :)
ReplyDeleteNice picking Tez, That score of 11 would win most trifectas with only picking 3 races let alone 5.
ReplyDeleteFirst round is on you at Frothy's.lol
