Thanx TGF and Rubens, and also Rafe (who hit JPM) you managed to cost me 3 points today!!!!

Quick work R, thanx.

*** Makes scraping and clawing sound ***

it's a fight between eatapc, Inigo Montoya and Valve Bounce , best of luck to all 3 of ya!

If only I was right up there...<sigh> :(

Still a top 50 can't be bad. If I'd just bothered to get up on Saturday mornings and entered my predictions for about 5 missed GPs I could've been a top 20 candidate if I had just got 4 points a race on av. But that's all hypothetical isn't it? :rolleyes: :banghead:

Cheer's to the Ferrari boys, they pretty much doubled my points with their little mix up!!

Two bad weeks in a row for me. But nice work Inigo!

I really didn't think MS would pull over at the finish. I picked MS to win after I found out that mathematically a win for Michael would lock in a second for Rubens, thus eliminating the need for Michael to hand it to Rubens. I didn't figure on MS being nice, and I thought there was a good chance of Rubens not qualifying on the front row.

I better get it together for the last race.

HEAR ME, RUBENS!! HAVE YOU ANY IDEA HOW MANY POINTS YOU COST ME?? HMMMM?? NO!! I DON'T THINK YOU DO, DO YOU??

Thanks eatapc. Good luck on the last race. Same to you VB...

Is there any prize for second and third place?

For once I didn't follow eatapc and I OUTSCORED him! Yay!!!!

R, I think I should have only 6 points for today, not 7. Could you check it please?

EERO, hope you don't mind me sticking my nose in, but R is right, you did score 7 points.

1 point for pole, 1 point for TGF in 2nd, 1 point for DC in 3rd, 2 points for JPM in 4th and 2 points for JV in 6th.

I had everyone covered until that last millisecond. What can I say? :(

7 points for EERO is right, and no, Inigo, like in F1, it's winner takes it all also in this competition. :D

what does the winner 'take' exactly?

DOh!!!! I forgot the TWO points for JV!

Thanks guys.

The winner will get a Ten Tenths Cap if I ever get around to sending Craig a check.:banghead:

Craig's also informed me that he's got a couple of small sized polos on offer - so the winner can choose between that and a cap. :)

:laugh:

Thanks TGF !!! I got it right now !

:buaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh: !
well... All my chances are lost, this is VERY unfair!

6 points??????? 6 points???????? i should have had LOADS more! /%&#/$&(/$$%# Scumacher!

i think i've missed 7-8 with the sameish average. i may have avoided such a spanking from above if i'd entered all of them!

who can complain though? i work saturdays and usually too tired to think reasonably on a friday night but nevermind - i've reached my target of 30 points! :beer:

Well done again R, we all owe you a :beer: when this is done and did-did.

Blimey !!!! Got top marks for the first time. I am really pleased. :) :) Yawn.....

I'm just looking at the results for the first time having suffered a computer failure a week ago. Unlike most I guess the switcheroo at the end gained me a point as I had JPM in first and TGF in second. Not enough to make any real difference in my position though. Wait 'till next year as we Red Sox fans say.

Well guys, i'm officially (can i use that word?) conceding the title race, 13 points behind and i gotta rely on all the others in front not scoring and i've only averaged 5.125 points per race! But i promise that next year will have some revolutionary guesses!
