    No worries, Brock. Couldn't let you double-up on drivers.

    Yes, good race. Lots of retirements. Winner could come from anywhere.
    Where's the fuckin power box, Carol?

        Nice one MJ and CHucky

        But looking down the list of picks, looks like almost no one got close to a truly good score here!

                Opti, looked like an exciting race.

                From a tactical standpoint, it really looks like timing the fuel-gauge is very important.

                        It was ok. Palou dominating dampened my excitement lol

                          I'll be running an NFL contest. World Cup contest would be cool for sure.

                          I can set up a good spreadsheet. So, I can offer that skill-set to the team.

                            Yeah we gotta do a WC contest mate. Had Brazil not been so arrogant and taken Croatia apart id have had a great chance at winning the grand prize.

                            if you can for sure add it to the spreadsheet that one should get a strong showing.

                                    Hey, guys. One twist on this:
                                    Indianapolis 500 runner-up Marcus Ericsson was penalized to the rear of the 33-car field along with Andretti Global teammate Kyle Kirkwood after their cars were found to have unapproved modifications in the postrace inspection.


                                    Ericsson penalized in post-race inspection. I'll leave it up to MJ and Opti. They can act as arbiters.

                                    I'll come back in a few hours. You guys can decide if it should be re-graded.

                                    This is really no different than some of the horse races. Baffert's horse won the race a few years ago. Bets were paid, and then the horse failed the blood-test.

                                      FYI. The re-grade would bump: Malukas up to 2nd...and O'Ward up to 3rd. [TABLE="class: wikitable"]

                                        Most books now grade based on first official finishing order published after race ends.

                                        I had a bet on NASCAR Xfin race that would have won after Sammy Smith DQed if books regraded for post race penalties.

                                        It's MJs money, up to him I would say,

                                          Opti, that's a fair comment. Thank You.

                                          If the books pay out on first official standings, that is the standard. Thx for the note.

                                          It does parallel the Horse Racing. On day of race, they wait for any Inquiries. When the stewards confirm, payouts go to the tote board.

                                              My vote = sticking w/ the original list. If it's a matter of mirroring who the books would pay, I think that should be the standard.

                                              ok- keeping it simple and with original guys
