A message from Katie-
ReplyDeleteWhy do you insist on testing the voodoo by picking Carl??? You've seen how effective it is. Let's face it, Regan Smith winning at Darlington on old tires- the anti Carl voodoo at it's best(that's my story and I'm sticking to it). Pick the duck at your own risk.
:o)
LOL SB, the sage of doom... at least when it comes to roid rage!
ReplyDeletebtw... I didn't pick Carl, and I think a few others didn't pick the bugger too. How 'bout bonus points for us? LOL
ReplyDeleteIf he 'only' gets a 2nd @ Darlington via voodoo, then keep it coming. lol
ReplyDelete*only when I pick him, though*
SB, Scrap my NW pick. I'll go with J. Johnson in the Cup race, and take the penalty.
ReplyDeleteholy crap, did you *see* Perez's crash at Monaco during qualifying?! :o
ReplyDeletewhat a lucky boy to escape that without more serious injuries!
Didn't see it tez. Just read about it. They say he lost it on the bumps coming out of the tunnel.
ReplyDeleteSB, I'd like to go back to my original F1 pick, Mark Webber. Thanks!
After one race:
ReplyDeleteDwindy 1
kristen 1
Hanny 2
SB 3
tez 3
moseby 6
jon 6
CR 9(includes 5 point change of race penalty)
Bev 11
Looks like Dwindy is continuing his domination of the stats :o)
6 starts, 5 wins. F1 should be renamed V1!
ReplyDeleteCome on, I get no credit for picking Matty in a MUCH more difficult race to handicap for the win!??! LOL
ReplyDeleteCome on Helio and Carl!
(why do I keep picking him, well because you've scared everyone else off him Katie! and well because as I noted before I am stubborn just like your driver!)
LOL This morning before the race, I was ready to post a driver change in the 500, because I knew tez had the trifecta wrapped up, and we both had Dixon. I was asking SB to change my pick to Dan Wheldon. Then I thought, to heck with it, and didn't post. Anyway, congrats to Dan!
ReplyDeleteI gave serious thought about picking Dan as well, CR...but figured the might of Chip would pull it off, lol
ReplyDeleteAlso; Lewis Hamilton...what a knob. Yeah, I get he was annoyed with getting demoted 2 spots on the grid, but you cannot, under any circumstances, say what he said after the race. Calling all the other drivers idiots and that the officials have it in for him since he's black...I don't care if he was joking or not, he's a total moron.
I agree tez. I hate it when the race card is tossed on the table! That's when I fold, and cash in my chips.
ReplyDeleteHold on there, boys. I don't know what you're hearing out there on the west coast, but the fat lady isn't even in the building yet. Hanny still has the Cup race on his schedule.
ReplyDeleteAfter two races:
Hanny 3
tez 4
jon 12
Dwindy 15
CR 15
moseby 18
kristen 18
Bev 23
SB 31
Now can NASCAR live up to the drama that is the Trifecta? Tez's race day is done. With Dixon's 6th place finish at Indy, Tez has a total of 10 points overall. Now, all he can do is sit back and hope that Matt Kenseth finishes 8th or worse.
but there ain't no party like a Red Bull party...Vettel and Horner grabbed EJ and DC and threw them into the pool, LOL
ReplyDeletegotta love the BBC red button forum thing...and youtube since we don't get that bit ;)
Dang that Helio!
ReplyDeleteApparently anyone who drives the National Guard car is a complete doof!
I was done in by Chip not putting enough fuel in his cars for the second straight week...that was Scotty's at the end, lol
ReplyDeleteoff to pick up some snacks before the final leg on this day, the biggest day of racing. I'm running on about 4 hours sleep so the andrenalin will have to compensate :P
ReplyDeleteTime to find out if Matty is really as smart as all the talking heads claim.
ReplyDeleteSorry all, but I'm hoping for a very boring race... Matt's specialty.
Well, you're in the Trifecta's drivers seat Gene. Hope you can handle that last turn! LOL
ReplyDeleteif I didn't see it myself, I'd never have believed that finish, lol
ReplyDeleteAnother wild one with none of the Trifecta cup drivers finishing in the top 10. So now the fat lady is singing, and she is singing the praises of Tez who comes away with his first win of the season. Dwindy still leads the overall standings with four wins.
ReplyDeletethe final standings:
tez 10
Hanny 17
jon 28
moseby 32
kristen 34
CR 43
Dwindy 47
SB 59
Bev 60
Congrats to tez! Way to go!
ReplyDelete...and to our National Guard; This was not a good day for you in racing... But we're all proud of you, just the same!
I seem to like Memorial Day trifectas, back-to-back on here and a perfect score in the 2008 version! :D
ReplyDeleteWay to hang tez!
ReplyDeleteWay to swoop in for the win Tez - your now "THE CLOSER!" Congrats!
ReplyDeleteCongrats Tez! The night time was not the right time for my driver. lol
