I'll get in for Game 2.

I got you down, need a few more gamblers to join for game 2...

I've got an eye on indyracecontrol for practice right now.

Paulo's favorite driver is fastest so far. There are a few teams that are much faster than I thought they would be. Bump day will be interesting.

Very surprised Pippa has a 227.996 no tow lap. I like the Clauson team, sentimental...RIP Bryan.

Get ready to draft your pole and last row qualifiers after the fast 9 and bump candidates are determined.

@ChaosRock do you want in both games. Right now I’m heads up against @dbertheau If you are in we each pick 11 cars on race day. Same rules for qualifying.

Anybody out there want some race action? We have a few spots.

We need to set draft order. Can someone out there do a quick flip to determine our draft order and post it here?

 

[BGinGA]

Mike, when are you going to pick side bet entries, and do the main draft? Tonight, after qualifying ends?

If so, I won't be able to participate -- I'll be playing in the Iron Donkey Poker League championship game tonight at The Hitching Post.

May need to give my spot to @dbertheau unless we can do draws tomorrow morning before final qualifying begins.

 

[slisk250]

We can start whenever. Why don't you have someone do the flip at the tourney for our draft order for the Qualifying contests.

 

[slisk250]

Wow, If Fernando and McLaren don't find some speed they are a bump target tomorrow. Dead last right now.

 

[BGinGA]

Just give my side wagers and action to @dbertheau -- I won't have time to deal with them tonight. We can do the Main snake draw later, after the final starting field spots are set

Yes, happy to be part or both group 1 and group 2, Mike.

Also, before I make my Pole/LastRow pick, a rules clarification: what happens with a rain out? That might affect my pick.

I’m not sure but I think every fast 9 and last row car are promised 1 attempt..regardless if rain stops qualifying Sunday.

@ChaosRock you are on the clock.

 

[Chippy McChiperson]

I just read that if rain wipes things out tomorrow, they will still do the shootout for the bottom 6 on Monday, but that the current qualifying results will stand (meaning Pigot gets the pole)

That was my understanding also Chippy.

I’m good regardless, just want to know our rules so I can make my pick.

 

[dbertheau]

Looks like picks will happen tomorrow so you may be able to participate, @BGinGA. Feel free to pick when the picking begins. Reply that you will be picking...if our spot comes on the clock and you have not replied, I'll go ahead and pick.

Let's gamble. If it rains, it rains. I've looked at the forecast and it is interesting...maybe, maybe not. I think the last row shootout will happen, perhaps they will move up the times because of weather to get the fast 9 in?. There is about a 3 hour practice session planned for after all qualifying so they have a window. They need about 45 minutes of dry track to run 9 cars.

Are the rules OK everyone? Let's roll. @ChaosRock is on the clock with his first pick. for pole or bubble boy (Pippa is already in )

 

[ChaosRock]

Gonna go with Spencer Pigot.

@bsdunbar1 , on you now.

 

[Chippy McChiperson]

@bsdunbar1 , on you now.

Don't forget about me! I'll take Power!

Sorry Chippy, I looked at the wrong list. My bad.

 

[bsdunbar1]

Josef Newgarden

 

[dbertheau]

Simon Pagenaud

@David O is up.

 

[slisk250]

@David O

 

[slisk250]

Weather delay at 10:35 Practice 6 is stopped for the moment.

We need a pick from @David O

can someone text that man?

 

[slisk250]

@BGinGA pick for David O.

 

[ChaosRock]

So while we wait for David or Dave, @slisk250 : Just to make sure, every pick could either be Pole (if pick is top 9) OR 33rd (if pick isn't set in grid yet), right? In other words, when you pick, you could have two Pole picks of two 33rd picks (or one of each, of course)?

I thought 1st pick was fast-9, 2nd pick was 33rd starter.

I will pick Ed Jones. @David O is up.

I think so. With the rain, it is important we have the picks now as last row should have been under way.
