[WORDSWORTH]

Great contest. Thanks for the heads-up. Davey Hamilton is my pick simply because he has the same surname as Lewis (F1).

 

[twomoon]

Of course it's:

14 Bertrand Baguette 225.285

Picked because i like it:

Nice F1 knowledge lol


baguette sandwich lol

 

[twomoon]

baguette sandwich lol

No,no it's not a sandwich - it's a symbol.
We could see baguette eating meat and other stuff.

It means Bertrand will eat all other guys for breakfast

 

[johname]

Tony Kanaan might be the best available driver (now taken)

 

[mwzd]

You're probably right, but I'll pick 21 Jay Howard!

Keep an eye on him, he's a sleeper.

:lol:

 

[nayfeee]

I have no idea about racing, but google images tells me this guy looks like he might crash! :lol:

Tomas Scheckte for me if that's ok!

 

[johname]

I have no idea about racing, but google images tells me this guy looks like he might crash! :lol:

I like your thinking lol

 

[procanic]

Pick

18 E.J. Viso 224.732

Never Know!!

 

[johname]

Thanks for the donation to the prize excaped

I miss the Nigel days (mostly in formula 1) Nigel long retired. The first number is the place the driver starts the race. Since there three per row your guy will start in the middle of the thrid row. The other number is the best 4 lap average they did in qualifing. Its in miles per hour thats why it looks nutty to you lol. Its 225 miles per hour. The fastest I have ever experienced was 100 miles per hour.

I remember when Nigel joined Mercedes and at the press release he was too fat to get in the car.. Funny F1 moment.

In UK we do mph.

I hope I don't ever get caught over 100 mph!

:lol:

Not good to be a sleeper if you're going to go round in circles for hours.

How to spot your driver in the race.

Mclaren built the car around another driver and signed Nigel last min if I remember right.

He has a Facebook page dedicated to dispelling the myth that he was too fat!

Maybe he was big boned.



Maybe I was duped all these years..

[johname]

You just slipped in emjohn lol

Driver are all taken!

Maybe too early of a question but what happens if all the drivers don't get picked?

Too early indeed Briguy lol

 

[namenut]

NameNut, JohnName,

I love the crash idea...I really do!

It will def work if a driver crashes into the wall...but I would assume most crashes would involve 2 drivers so how would you pick which driver will win the $100. Split it between both maybe?

If it is based off of who causes the crash, my guy Paul Tracy will win! lol

* Any and All drivers, on the list, that are in the first crash will receive 100 NP$. :talk:

Re: The Crash

It will be Danica Patrick = but then she will get crazy and blame the other person who needs to "learn how to drive out there".

* Any driver, on the list, accosted verbally or physically by Danica Patric will receive 250 NP$

* Any driver, on the list, that looses a tire from a crash = 100 NP$

* Any driver, on the list, that suffers a car fire = 100 NP$


*** Mental Flash!!!

Danica hits wall in first turn ...wipes out the list then gets out and cusses them all out....LOL :o :notme:
