So excited to have won the contest, especially considering I had no clue of who Dan Wheldon was before being invited by John(ame) :D

(who happens to be one of NP's greatest members BTW, thanks for the 500 NP$).

I've also received rep points from a few members, thanks

It doesn't matter who crosses the line first - the best driver is the one that can go the fastest. That's what I think anyway.

Thanks for the contest - it was an amusing thread and one that I thoroughly enjoyed reading.

Now to go find something I can blow 10NP$ on!

Cuz when I meet Wendy, I want to take her for a ride myself and I want to believe it is her very first time... :hehe:

I missed this comment. I think others did too. That's why I am putting it in a magic quote bubble.

Thx JohnName but This would have been a much greater contest/thread if I won something!
Paul Tracy sucks.

Oh well, My SuperBowl Contest is right around the corner again...

Paul Tracy sucks.

I warned you and others :

Paul Tracy is from Canada but hes long on the tooth and is a one race rented driver (not racing that car the full season) which usally means a no winner

Oh well, My SuperBowl Contest is right around the corner again...

Unless the season canceled lol

 

[Vito]

Unless the season canceled lol

Bite your tongue!
Could happen.
That would be an awfully long Winter.

 

[vwblubug]

Wow! I got lucky...Last Place & first crash...I picked the loser and won...

I should play the lottery :P


Thanks for the cool contest, john!

 

[RevolutionaryDomains]

I tried to Rep as well, but to no avail. Nonetheless, today was a fun contest. Thanks for putting it together and the invite. Looking forward to the next time I get to drool over Danica...I mean, the next contest. Yeah, yeah that's it. That's the ticket!

Congrats to all of today's winners.

 

[maxeaus]

"maxeaus guy in the lead. (first person from spain to lead at indy)

My guy sucks, I sould have traded him with my mate maxeaus lol"



And then it all went to shit......LOL:bah:

Congrats to all the winners, well done.

 

[pit]

Prize funds received. Thanks again for the contest. I don't know if I would have watched the full race otherwise. It had been a while since I watched a full Indy 500. Think I'll do it again next year or maybe attend since I'm closer to the track now.

Congrats to all the winners!
