That's funny that no one ended up with Ryan Briscoe.

I figured a few other people with more points woulda grabbed him so we passed on him...

Same

I thought for sure our 40-odd points werent going to be enough to grab Helio, which is who ESPN has as favored (along with Andretti). He also has 2nd best odds in most of the sportsbooks, next to Briscoe (because he's starting from Pole). 

Arfy, just for giggles, would you post everyone's bids?  Draft's over, it'd be neat to see everyone's strategy.

Team Fappin bids 42 pts on Helio Castroneves at rank 1

and bids 1 point on Marco Andretti at rank 2.

The Franchise also put 10 pts on Will Power

 

non blondes 7 pts on Marco Andretti
7 pts on Dario Franchitti and
1 pt on James Hinchcliffe

Will power - 16

Navy Buddies Auction Bidding

Message:

1) Ryan Hunter-Reay (48)
2) Josef Newgarden (6)

Everyone else only bet on one team

 

So not only did no one get Briscoe...no one even bid on him.  Can we spend our unspent 8 pts on him? :P

Briscoe's been pretty mediocre so far.  I'll take consistency in Hinchcliffe over him any day, even if he does have the pole.

If Hinch didn't stand on the gas pedal during his warm up lap (the fastest recorded that day) and wear out his tires, he would've had the pole.  Briscoe was lucky to win it.  Don't see him finishing in the Top 10.

Happy holiday weekend from sunny and hot Indianapolis.  There's gonna be a lot of rubber left on the track tomorrow during the 97 degree heat.

That's what your sister said!

Halfway through:

Team Fappin-Helio Castroneves: 12th
Burnt Sienna- James Hinchcliffe: 16th
The Franchise-Marco Andretti: 11th
2 non blondes-Dario Franchitti: 2nd
Haleyuns-Scott Dixon: 1st
Show me your TD's-  Will Power: 28th (Out)
Navy Buddies- Ryan Hunter-Reay:  3rd

So, new strategy:

Step 1 - Lose a challenge
Step 2 - Have it turn out to be non-elimination
Step 3 - Win the next challenge from a HUGE disadvantage

:::facepalm:::

Show Me Your TD's got totally shafted lol

Final Results...

2 non blondes-Dario Franchitti: 1nd
Haleyuns-Scott Dixon: 2st
Burnt Sienna- James Hinchcliffe: 6th
Team Fappin-Helio Castroneves: 10th
The Franchise-Marco Andretti: 24th
Navy Buddies- Ryan Hunter-Reay:  27th
Show me your TD's-  Will Power: 28th

I guess Show Me Your TD's didn't have the Will Power to urge him on to victory. 

So are we eliminated?...

Glad we didnt win our top bid...


our bids were...

Will power - 16
Scott Dixon - 14
Kanaan - 6

Where they finished...
Power - 28th
DIxon - 2nd
Kanaan - 3rd
