[David O]

@ChaosRock on deck for the final pick for 2021

 

[bsdunbar1]

Early Vegas odds show bsdunbar1's team is the slight favorite.

 

[ChaosRock]

28th - Sage Karam

 

[David O]

28th - Sage Karam

I almost had to flip a coin between Karam and Bourdais!

U made the right choice imo, David. I wanted Bourdais in my team. Sage is a good driver and a vet so it was a no brained once Seb was gone...

 

[BGinGA]

So unpicked were the entire 10th row plus #22 Hildebrand and #33 Simona.....

We should offer those five to Anthony.

 

[slisk250]

I think dunbar and BG have the strongest on paper

 

[Chippy McChiperson]

I don’t know, I really like David’s 2nd and 3rd round picks.

 

[David O]

I would have liked to have drafted Pato since he is a fellow San Antonian!

 

[David O]

This should be a great race. Good luck everyone

 

[ChaosRock]

I don’t know, I really like David’s 2nd and 3rd round picks.

And 4th round as well...

 

[ekricket]

Cleo predicts a strong win from Team Ekricket

 

[BGinGA]

I'd like bsdunbar1's team a lot if he hadn't picked Marco

 

[ChaosRock]

The Penske boys were really fast yesterday during Carb Day. Not as fast as Dixon though... Yes, conditions were very, very different from previous practices and qualifying. It was cold and damp, lots of grip. I think with race trim qualy times will be sort of a moot point. I hope AMS get their cars a better set up for the race and that they give Ganassi and Penske a run for the money. Carpenter's drivers keep showing they have fast cars as is typically the case for ovals...

 

[slisk250]

Yeah this is a very difficult race to predict outside of the top 3 rows. There have been 2 Chevy engines lost, curious if that will be a thing. It’s Indy and anyone qualifying in the back has to run that gauntlet. We’ll see if Simon and Will can come from the back. I still don’t see a Chevy winning unless all of Ganassi and Andretti cars have problems.

I don’t like my team much, hopefully Rinus will shine and Rahal can pull a rabbit out of the hat.

Still want some more action Paulo? If so let’s go heads up. Last 4 rows, 12 drivers, we draft 6 each, same points as before...

Yeah, I agree, Mike. I'm still a Chevy guy at heart though, and I think (hope) they'll be fine. For some reason, I'm always more weary of the Honda engines particularly in Andretti's cars. I think with Chevy's Penske, Carpenter and Arrow, they are in the conversation for sure.

As far as more action goes, yeah, always! LOL!!!

I think the teams are balanced but since you favor Dave's and Dunbar's team, what about we do a two team parley? You get the combined points of those teams and I get the combined points of David O's and Chippy's teams? We can do another $10, or $5, or whatever you want...

Veekay and Rahal are definitely contenders imo. I was talking to David O the other day, the format of our challenge favors a bit more consistency rather than a risk-taker driver. I used Sato's exemple. His odds for winning are higher than some other drivers but he is less likely to finish well than some of the same drivers. IMO, of course. Kinda the same can be said about Rahal, and some others.

 

[ChaosRock]

I do not feel bad about my chances. And Sage is racing Jeff Gordon's 24 to boot...

How did I miss this

Side bets anyone ?

I'm IN!

 

[slisk250]

Any more action out there? Prop bet I’ll take the last row 11 qualifiers against row 9. Best finishing position...add all 3 spots and lowest total wins.

I get Simona De Silvestro, Will Power, Sage Karam. You get Simon Pagenaud, Marco Andretti, Sebastien Bordais.

Who is in?
