    Trucks--ESad

    NNS--ESad

    Cup--Happy

    I'd go with the E-fecta, but he's not in the Cup race.

    Trucks - Kyle "I miss having Kevin in these races" Busch
    F1 - Sebastian "quit trying to jinx me, Tez!" Vettel
    Indycar - Will "making it a Queensland sweep this week" Power

    a sidenote....I do hope that the V8's will be included for the Bathurst and Gold Coast races in October because I can tell you right now that they will be one of my three picks.

    Well... Hornaday blew it :( ... & I do have to say I've never seen a hood come loose during a race and knock a top competitor out of a chance to win...

    Anyway, I guess I've got to go the hard way and take the penalty. Ms. SB, could you please put me down for Hamilton in the F1 race?

    Thank you very much!

    Yeah, since everyone took Vettel for British GP might as well change my pick to Hamilton.

  11. klvalusJuly 8, 2011 at 6:18 PM

    Hmmm I think I'll take

    Kyle!!!

    instead of Logano for Cup....

    I'm dumping Joey's 10th place finish in NW, and taking KYLE! in the Cup race.

    the beagle is taking the penalty and dropping the Cup race for Dixon in the IngyCar race.

    Hi SB!

    Sorry to keep changing up here (Dang Hornaday!)... I'd like to replace Hamilton in the F1 race with young Mr. Webber.

    Thanks!

  16. CR_RacingJuly 10, 2011 at 8:05 AM

    Well, since Kristen is working on a perfect score, and we both have Dario... I'll change my Indycar pick to Will Power. Thanks SB!

  17. CR_RacingJuly 10, 2011 at 8:12 AM

    Well dang it! I see Tez has Will Power... OK, make mine Scott Dixon. That's my final answer!

  18. SpeedBeagleJuly 10, 2011 at 9:09 AM

    With one to go, Kristen is working on a perfect score. Hanny, Jon, and Dwindy have finished their races.

    Standings after everyone has completed two races:

    kristen 2
    tez 3
    CR 5
    Hanny 7
    moseby 9
    jon 11
    SB 18
    Dwindy 20

    Holy crap Alonso finally won one for me! This system you got Tez is working pretty well I must say...Come on Dario! Dario!

    you mean you doubted me, Kristen?

  21. tezgm99July 10, 2011 at 12:33 PM

    Looking good for K as Dario just caught a *huge* break! He pitted before Scott and Will, then the yellow came out so he'll be leading at the restart with those 2 stuck around 12th or so.

    ReplyDelete
  22. tezgm99July 10, 2011 at 12:42 PM

    Yellow again...Hinchcliffe and Tracy squabbling over the same piece of road; that doesn't tend to work very well on a street course. Scott is up to 6th, Will back in 11th, Dario still leading.

    ReplyDelete
  23. tezgm99July 10, 2011 at 12:43 PM

    coming up to halfway through....on lap 41 of 85.

  24. tezgm99July 10, 2011 at 12:59 PM

    Another crash. This one is right on the edge of the fuel window so everyone will be in conservation mode, unless someone decides to do what Gil de Ferran did back in 1999 at Portland and just go flat out to build up enough of a lead for a splash and go.

    Of course, that's very risky given the chance of another caution....

  25. tezgm99July 10, 2011 at 1:05 PM

    Conway and Briscoe hit each other...local yellow only, 28 laps to go.

  26. tezgm99July 10, 2011 at 1:06 PM

    Dario turns Will around! :o

    ReplyDelete
  27. tezgm99July 10, 2011 at 1:08 PM

    drivethrough penalty for Dario; causing a collision. Scott is looking rather handy all of a sudden, lol

    ReplyDelete
  28. tezgm99July 10, 2011 at 1:17 PM

    Rahal, Hunter-Reay, Franchitti, Dixon, Wilson the top 5 with 22 to go...Rahal is iffy on fuel, Dario has got off, race control just reversed their call so no penalty for Dario.

    ReplyDelete
  29. tezgm99July 10, 2011 at 1:21 PM

    Caution again....Power got spun around again, by Tagliani this time. 19 to go, Rahal leading Dario, Ryan and Scott.

    Will absolutely ripping into Dario in his interview, wow.

  31. tezgm99July 10, 2011 at 1:28 PM

    Caution yet again...man, these guys are seriously sucking today, it's like they all need 'L' plates or something.

  32. tezgm99July 10, 2011 at 1:37 PM

    restart - yellow....for the millionth time today, lol

  33. tezgm99July 10, 2011 at 1:54 PM

    Dario wins...I think. Depends on any postrace stuff but, if he has, well done K!

    ReplyDelete
  34. SpeedBeagleJuly 10, 2011 at 2:09 PM

    Well done, K, indeed! Kristen gets her first win of the season and does it in grand style with a perfect score. Just how grand is it? Because of the perfect score, Kristen vaults from last to 4th in the overall standings(of course we're all still chasing Dwindy).

    The final standings:

    kristen 3
    CR 7
    Hanny 9
    moseby 16
    SB 20
    Dwindy 23
    tez 27
    jon 27

    WTG Kristen! YOU ROCK!!

    Thanks for the color analysis of the race Tez. I missed all the open wheel action this weekend.

  37. CR_RacingJuly 10, 2011 at 2:29 PM

    ...I should have kept Dario for the tie-breaker point at the end of the season...

  41. klvalusJuly 10, 2011 at 4:55 PM

    Woohoo!!! Seems like Dario (and I) caught a lucky break at Penske's expense with the no call on the penalty. They've all got "Danica" syndrome Tez, cant drive anymore...

    Doing happy dance!

    Oh and I figured it was the famous ice cream SB but never heard back from Wild Bill on his fav flavor...am I right?
