Pick the Podium: IndyCar - Alabama

[IndyAndy]

Time to go racing is spider country.

Barber is a scenic track, but not the most passing conducive IMO. :rollseyes:

Will Power sure has it figured out. I don't see anything other than a mechanical issue stopping him from notching his 3rd win at this track.

My Picks:

Power
Newgarden (One of these days I'm going to be right about him!)
Dixon

 

[Retroram52]

I'll take Hunter-Reay, Power, Hinchcliffe. Newgarden is eventually going to come around Indy.

 

[IndyAndy]

Yeah, baby: It's a wet track. This could make for some good racing.

 

[Retroram52]

The water changes the dynamics a bit. You're right, Indy. Should be a good race.

 

[Retroram52]

Looks like they are delaying the race. Oh well.

This may get 'complicated' for me: I've got the company tickets for tonight's ECHL playoff game: My Komets have a shot at knocking the #1 seed Redding Royals out of the post-season tonight.

Might have to set the VCR & catch the race late tonight/tomorrow morning.

 

[Retroram52]

I think they may run it tomorrow if it keeps raining. No lights on the road course of course.

 

[Retroram52]

They are racing in Alabama and Hunter-Reay is the early leader when Power went off the track and almost wrecked. Power is now second and Hinchcliffe is third.

There you have it in Alabama. A one-two finish for Andretti Autosport with Hunter-Reay finishing first, Marco Andretti finishing second, and Scott Dixon third. Onward we go.

Just watched my tape of the race. A pretty good one: I always like it when the drivers have to deal with changing track conditions.

A good day for Andretti Autosport - and after Long Beach, they needed it!

Here's how we did:

Retroram52: 5 points - picked Hunter-Reay to win
IndyAndy: 2 points - picked Dixon to finish 3rd

Season Totals:

Retroram52: 6 points
IndyAndy: 3 points

Next up: The inaugural Grand Prix of Indianapolis - which I will attend in person - on Saturday, May 10.

You know Indy, if things work out on this end for me, I may want to actually catch one of the races in May in Indianapolis. Alot of things have to fall in line but I'd like to get to see one of them in person. We shall see.
