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


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

Okay...BGinGA has picked in his original spot...I'm out at the moment, but will be a backup if needed.

Let me know if you want me to pick in David Os spot.

 

[slisk250]

actually I'm up with 2 picks. I guess we have some discussion about what picks a player can make. For me, if it rains all day I have zero chance at pole even though I haven't selected (so does everyone else). Paulo would have locked half the money. I select both Sage Karam and Max Chilton.

If there is discussion that I cannot make two last row picks, then I'm taking Max Chilton and Ed Carpenter. (picking last in a snake draft for the pole sucks too)

You guys decide which pick I'm allowed and BGinGA is next.

Yeah, that was the other possibility that crossed my mind, Dave. A pick of each for each gambler.

Track is drying already so one option is to forgo the Pole/33rd.

 

[slisk250]

Let's just go with BG replacing David O

Do you think they will run? What is the up to the minute radar forecast? When will that storm hit in the afternoon. Big wind too?

 

[ChaosRock]

It started to rain again. Track closed for now.

 

[BGinGA]

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

I missed @dbertheau picking in my place. Ed Jones for @David O, or I can take his place.

In which case I pick sage fo 33rd. I think Mike needs to have a horse in each race.

 

[ChaosRock]

Danica Patrick might be among my top 5 crushes. Heck of a driver, tough, smart as hell and cute as a button.

fair enough Max and Ed it is. If it is raining again, Paulo is a lock on the pole. They will run the last row if they have a chance and nix fast 9

 

[BGinGA]

Lol, i vote that if paulo has top qual locked up without a fight, then he's not eligible for 33rd prize.

I won't have a chance for a scoop as I'll run out of 33rd pick most likely.

Don't care if she can drive but Milka Duno ....I was a fan...

 

[dbertheau]

I'll pick Fernando Alonso for 33rd.

At least all my rookies are in the show, I'll get that pole money back.

 

[BGinGA]

This seems backwards to me. If they are willing to push last row qualifying to later days due to rain, they should run pole qualifying first if the track dries.....

 

[slisk250]

@dbertheau, then @Chippy McChiperson

 

[dbertheau]

@dbertheau, then @Chippy McChiperson

I already selected...next is @bsdunbar1

 

[BGinGA]

I'll pick Fernando Alonso for 33rd.

I hope you're right. I think he's either gonna get it figured out (and be fastest of the six), or miss the race entirely. Class guy, would be a shame if he sits out.

 

[slisk250]

I already selected...next is @bsdunbar1

yup

 

[bsdunbar1]

anyone have a running list of who has picked who?

 

[BGinGA]

@dbertheau, then @Chippy McChiperson

LOL who's on first?! We need a new race director.

 

[BGinGA]

anyone have a running list of who has picked who?

working on it.....

 

[slisk250]

My prediction is that no cars run today, Paulo gets the pole money and we slug it out tomorrow. Hinch will be fastest. Chilton 33rd, McLaren goes home.

Oops, too soon.

Sorry I have been out of town and not online much. I am good with the picks so far.
