WELCOME EVERYONE

This week we are going to Watkins Glen International Raceway in New York. Please join us for a full weekend of racing.

Watkins Glen International continues a road-racing tradition that dates back to 1948 -- when sports cars competed on the streets of the village at the southern tip of scenic Lake Seneca. The circuit, which at one time hosted the F1 United States Grand Prix, has grown to become one of the most respected facilities in the northeast.

This is an impound race, all practice is on Friday, qualifying on Saturday (unless they change their mind) FRFL picks must be made by Saturday morning 2am pacific time. I will update the practice times as we get closer to Friday as well as adding the qualifying lineup etc.

I have a complaint about FRFL.

I had Scott Pruett, but dumped him because he didn't have a ride. Then he got a ride, after Yahoo! closed the picks?!?!

I only say that because my picks are currently running 1-2-3-37. If I got to keep Pruett, I would be 1-2-3-6!

[steveegg]

It was known Saturday that he would be in the #40. By early Saturday evening, they removed the DNQ from him.

Just after I did the pre-race ping, I mentioned that he was available for another 10 minutes.

[fideist]

Strike that, if I had got to keep Pruett, I would have 1-2-3-4!!!

Bad luck follows me. There is going to be a wreck up front. You wait and see.

[GRRRRR]

Take a look at these five spots...unbelievable these guys might not be in the final ten..

Kyle Busch spins the 5...no caution

[fideist]

So there was a "window" in which case it was for me to find out. Okay.

I had Pruett until this morning; I dumped him in favor of Fellows based on him dropping back to 43rd for the start.

I could've been 1/3/4/7, but besides dumping Pruett, I dumped Rusty.

[fideist]

Cousin, Jr. had Mikey upfront for a lot of today. Junior used to pretty well at the Glen when he was with Cousin, Jr. Me thinks Junior wishes he still was with Cousin, Jr.

I just want to see Junior pull out a top ten today. Currently he is running eleventh.

[steveegg]

No more kitty litter saves you on the caution pool.

Flash up to 18th, 8 to go.

[steveegg]

37 and 12 decide to test the lack of kitty litter in 1; they're successful, no caution as we get 5 to go (DAMN IT! I wanted to be right about something today).

[NormsRevenge]

I kept Rusty but dumped Pruett for fellows too,, arrgghh..

[tubebender]

I could have picked so many C team drivers...but I didn't

[fideist]

Junior up to 10th! Woo-hoo!

[steveegg]

Just another Sunday drive for Smoke.

[fideist]

I KNEW SOMETHING WOULD RUIN IT FOR ME! My guys will run out of gas now. You wait and see.

[NormsRevenge]
